Every Precious Child

Each being given to draw breath

From the magnificent sphere of this world

Is precious, coming from that which may be precious.

It must be faced, just because of their infinite value

There are children that must be rescued from their own origin.

I will not be one to tell a child God put him or her in Hell.

Some children must also be rescued from that God.

What so many people are calling the answer

Is but an added dimension to the problem.

Every precious child…

Plenty of us would never let a child cry alone.

Plenty of us would pick up the wonder

 And love it into smiles.

Why do so many spend their time

Asking and asking and asking

The God that doesn’t know as well as we do

To love…every precious child?
