“...Lord, give us the Faith and Action of Little Children...”
---David C. Egner---

The wind and rock may tackle his might
Climbing from his dreams within sight

exiting from his dream world to the present

Oh, I do care, says little Jack
No cold, darkness, or fog
won’t crack
when I climb the rocky hunchback whale

I won’t freeze either
only old folks shiver in their cold thinking

But what mannerisms of childish pride is this?
On an adult day like this...

Listen to the Children and braver Boys
Far up the care-covered hill he goes

So clear is the sky I cannot see
I think This Boy is more off-based in his try

But something strange in the sky
The Boy’s mind spoke
and responded with wholehearted joy

Laughter not fully understood
to redeem me of my adulthood

Boasting, he takes the lead
with speed he mounts afoot
Cheeks red
Must be burning and stinging

He gave his mind and might to it
He’ll do the best a Braved Boy can do
Somehow the rocks seem like his friends
they see him come

But the Brave Boy Did More
He taught me a vital lesson of innocence
pure character and childlike faith in God

striking a responsive chord in
my hardened adult heart.
