Child-Like

Father, let me be a child,
my arms and heart open,
soul calling out to you.
Lead me to fields of green
to dance and laugh with you,
singing among flowers bright.
Let my heart hear you,
with always a "here I am"
resting upon my lips.
Show me your creation anew,
fresh with dew and hope.
Teach me the song that
every creature longs to sing,
born to life with you.
Break my old, cold heart
and remold it, soft clay,
imprinted words buried within,
a solid, strong foundation.
Hold me in your arms,
and give me sweet peace
in my young, child's soul.
