Through the Eyes of A Child



As a
little girl
I road
the Sunday School
bus to church


I would
sit on the edge
of my seat
like a
bird on her perch


I was
so hungry
for all the words
Pastor Weaver spoke to me


But
what does
this all mean?
how do I live this
way Lord, was my plea


I determined
I would be just
as the Bible said was right


Every single
time I tried I
got into so much
trouble and I had to fight


I was
laughed at
and hit and
called names too


I thought,
Jesus why
is this happening
I just want to be like you


I said
to Him,
when I asked
you into my heart


Lord?
Didn't you
promise You would
make everything in my
life all right?


In reality,
it became such
a huge mess


I just
knew something
was wrong with me
I must confess


Maybe,
just maybe,
I was wrong,
He does not love me


My life
was getting
a whole lot worse
not better,

I was looking
through the eyes of a child,
you see.
