Children

The purest of white doves
swoops down beside Samantha.
She bends down and takes one
finger and gently pets the dove’s head.

Let’s take a walk, said the dove.
There’s a story I want to share, a
story of God’s beautiful world.

See the birds of the air,
the butterflies soaring amongst
the clouds.

See the sun as it
shines light upon
the world.

How beautiful is the world.

Can you hear the wind whistle through
the trees? Watch their leaves dance
with the wind.

Can you hear the cricket’s melody,
the frogs croaking as they
keep up with the beat?

See the ripples in the
stream, the fish
swimming beneath.

How Beautiful is the world.

If the world is beautiful,
does that mean I am too,
asked Samantha?

Just as God created the world,
he created you. So yes, you are
made beautiful.
