Like a Child


                                                                                                                 

Like a child

longing to be

like the one

I used to be


I’ve been the man

I’ve had the answer

When I took myself

so seriously


Now I’m looking through the children’s eyes

I’m looking in their faces

Not trying to rule the world

Depending on God’s graces


No longer wise,

smart, or complete

like a child

I’ll always be
