mommy,
does he live in the skies?
from what tomb did he rise?
mommy,
what happened to his hands and his feet?
did he feel helpless, feel defeat?
mommy,
did they place a thorn crown on his head?
from his head, his feet, and his hands, he bled?
mommy,
Tell me where he lives, I have to know ...
Does he really help our spirit grow?
Sweet daughter,
just stop and listen to the silent sound
our savor, he lives all around
pray to him, ask him and then patently wait
this feeling in you he will humbly create
Sweet daughter
don't look so grim
you will know when you feel him
If you ask you will receive,
this my sweet child I promise thee
The next morning she came flying in
with her huge precious perfect grin
mommy! mommy! mommy!
I know where he lives, I knew from the start
He died for me, He now lives in my heart!
(dedicated to my daughter, nothing answers your questions like Jesus wrapping his answers all around you! )

Thank you so much for your kind words. I agree that seeing things through the eyes of a child, can actually open up the eyes of the more wise. Thank you again. You comment is much appreciated.

this is very sad, It goes without saying, and how from a child perspective, is how us adults should see things sometimes. There is much caring in the nature you portray to us.
