So God Made Little Boys...

I absolutely love listening to our just-turned three-year-old grandson

 belting out 'I waise a hawewoowah'

Dear Grand-sonny, we love all of what makes you...you!

 Pictures are worth a thousand words

What a happy birthday supper we had😊

Auntie Tor, Daddy and Grandma were present as well...just somehow missed the camera)

He knew we needed exercise

And good reasons to pray

An endless stream of chatter

And the melody of play

Reminders of pure innocence

Sweet naughtiness and noise

To keep us not quite so uptight

So God made little boys

He knew sometimes we would need more

Than words can quite explain

Like splashing through lake- puddles

In or after the rain

Like learning to think bigger

By studying smaller joys

Like digging in the garden-dirt

So God made little boys

He knew we would find freedom

In the teeny ties that bind

Our hearts as chubby fingers tug

Us from chores left behind

For worlds of bugs, slugs, ants and bees

Better than heaps of toys

As we learn on our hands and knees

So He made little boys

…to keep our conscience keener

And our common care more sweet

To make our pastures greener

As we both follow and lead

To make love’s gladness purer

In the sieve of simple joys

God knew we would need laughter

So He made little boys
