A child once sat at her mother’s knee,
And asked that tales be told.
Of God and Jesus and Angels true,
A world she could behold.
A tender age, a tender mind,
She loved the tales of God.
A gentle Father to us all,
A Son who once was flawed.
The tales she heard so long ago,
They stayed within her heart.
And formed the woman she became,
I think she’s pretty smart.
The mother passed on to her rest,
The child grew up to be.
For you know, so long ago,
That curious child was me.

Cheers to the person that child became – especially with a kind sense of humor! A tip of the cap to you!
