Family
Hiding there inside of her
A little child plays
Skipping rope and dressing dolls
She whiles away the days
She peeks out every now and then
To see the grown up world
But soon decides she's satisfied
To be a little girl
Oh you would never know
The gnarled hands and wrinkled face
Conceal a freckled braided child
That age cannot replace

Oh my. Oh my. And I have not one tissue handy. Reminds me of a dream I had a couple of years ago... well, I was thirty-seven actually. There she was, freckle-faced, snaggle-toothed, lots of red in that light brown hair (nearly black these days). And she looked me in my face and smiled: "You're beautiful inside." Oh, but she sure was. Been through a thing or two since then. But she's still there. And she's still beautiful. Somehow, I'd like to see my "youth renewed" and have her come out to play and dance and sing for joy a whole lot more often than she does. Such a loving and lovable child... who so needed to be loved. And then, there was... Jesus. Alright, time to find myself some tissue. Thank you for the prayers you've stirred up in this reverse-aging heart of mine.
