i feel so very, very little

I FEEL SO VERY, VERY LITTLE

IN THE STILLNESS, THE SMALL BOY SAID

HE WAS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD, AND THE CHURCH WAS OLD, SO OLD

BUT THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME TO GO

THE TEACHER TOOK HIM THERE AT HIS REQUEST

FOR TO HELP HIM, SHE ALWAYS TRYED TO DO HER  BEST. . .

HE HAD TOLD HER "GRANDMOTHER SAYS

"IN CHURCH, , , ONE CAN BE BLESSED!"

 

AS THEY LEFT, HE STOPPED AT THE DOOR

AND LOOKING BACK TO THE ALTAR JUST ONCE MORE

HE SAID "GOODBYE GOD."BUT THE SEED WAS SOWN!!!"

AND LATER ON ~ WOULD BE BREAKING THROUGH THE SOD!!!
