Little Blessings
This Friday, I decided to share a poem I wrote. To get a bit of context, I recently started working at a daycare where I have the privileged of watching over some wonderful children. One of my job responsibilities is to babysit a group of one-year-olds during nap time. It was during this time that I was inspired to write this poem. It’s a little different than my usual poems, but I think it is important to pray over our little ones. One day they will grow up and have to learn how to face this world. It is our job to show them that they don’t have to do it alone. They have a loving God who is with them…who has always been with them.
Here I sit in silence
watching
protecting
your little blessings
Each different in their own way
Yet they have their similarities
They have two little hands
With these hands
May they build something great
They have two little feet
That will take them to many places
May You bless the ways they go
They have two eyes
With them they watch the world in wonder
May they see You in everything they see
They have a little mouth
With which they will learn to express themselves
May their words be a blessing to others
They have a little mind
With it they will learn and grow
May You fill their minds with thoughts of You
They have little hearts
Beautiful little hearts full of love
May You always keep and guide their hearts
We forget sometimes that blessings aren’t always big
They can be small
Just like these little blessings
With their little smiles
Their little hugs
They are our future
God bless these little blessings
May they come to know You
May they grow in Your word
Show them true love
And as Your word says
I know they will continue in You
