Take the
cold hand of a little
child,
and watch the child begin to
smile.
Often that is all a dear one
needs,
for reassurance they're
worthwhile.
So many of
God's young
children,
feel all alone in a world they
suffer.
Without the tender love they
need,
given from their mother and
father.
Take the
cold hand of a little
child;
allow the child to feel warm and
safe.
Show them that they are truly
loved,
as in your heart, they have a
place.
Remove the
child's long trail of
tears
replace them with hopes and
dreams.
Put a sparkle back in their sad
eyes,
and a smile to make their face
beam.
Take the
cold hand of a little
child,
even though they are not your
own.
Give to them your unconditional
love,
and a place, that they can call
home.
Nourish the
child, repair their
spirit,
and mend their sad broken
heart.
Hold their cold hand, make it
warm
give their shattered life a new
start.
