This is a poem from the poetry book,'Coping with Illness and Grief' by Dr Audrey Coatesworth.
This poem is meant to be read to a grieving young child, who cannot speak of his/her sadness. Read without giving explanation or asking questions.
You pearce the heart with this piece. We often forget that children hear and see, but to verbalize at a young age can be difficult. Comfort, hugs, understanding, and love sometimes says more. Beautiful and heartfelt...
Children love to sink their teeth into sweet and delicious fruit. This story and teaching will have them sinking their hearts into the Fruit of the Spirit.
Be always safe,
Karen
