As A Child

Missing image

Bubbles, frothy soap swirling

Round my little toes

I sit enjoying the warmth

Of the water pouring down

From the crown of my head

Over my shoulders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh how I coo and smile

I love my daily bath

Mummy loves to hear me

And see the soap over

My little body

Washed squeaky clean

While she sings her songs

 Lovingly to me!

 

 

 

 

Little do I know

Someone who loves me more

When I get older

Will say to me

" I must wash you too,

For I love you that much"

My master and my Lord!

 

 

 

Daily wash me Lord Jesus

From the soil of sin,

The world's contaminants

So I can be clean and pure

Not only outside, but within!

 

"Wash me and I shall be clean!"

"Yes, I will be whiter than snow!"

 

 

 

 

 

My little fingers raised as a baby

To protect the soap from my eyes

I lift my hands in prayer as a child

Now finally as a grown up I realize

 

 

 

 

There is a true joy in cleansing

In our precious Savior's care

In His love He washes us

As we trust Him, He is there!

Author notes

Bath time can often be a pleasurable experience for babies..The enjoyable experience is also a command that our Lord wants us to have in a spiritual sense...Being bathed by His word, and confession of our sins....He wants us clean too....A baby looking into the future, and realizing the spiritual connection. Hope you connect as well....

    very well done and definately well deserving of the silver trophy! a huge congrats to you!
    such a beautifully written prayer of wonderful rhyme. my son loves bath time as well. he especially loves taking bubble baths. i really believe that most if not all babies and children do in some way. when i was little i didn't want to get a bath but when i got in the tub my mom couldn't get me out.
    anyways you have a wonderful write here and the picture makes it a beautiful masterpiece. its a very cute picture and reminds me of when my son was an infant. with him turning 6 in november, it's kinda sad to miss him as a baby but now he's my big guy growing more and more each day.
    keep on writing my friend.

    Very good, so cute and loving. A very poetic way to show the joy of a child taking a bath and the vision that spiritually we will all need a bath from our Savior. Wonderfully done and so sweet.
