Little Child to Love.

When there's a little child to love
the worlds a sweeter place,
With more of resurrection in the
wild old daily race;
So many things to think about you
never knew before,
And one more life to love, my dear
thank God for one life more!
When there's a little child to love
weary way turns sweet.
With blossoms where we used to find
rough rocks beneath u feet;
A little child to love and rear and
pity and behold
Thank God for one more life, my
dear, with all its dreams of gold
When there's a little child to love
the skies turn sweet again,
And in the sunlight of the days we
son forget the rain;
A little life leans on US and longs to
fill its part
Thank God for one more child to
love while love still rules the heart
When there's a little child to love
the little cares seem less,
The echo of a childhood laugh has
such a way to bless;
More human beauty fills the earth
and softer grows the strife
Thank God for one more life to love,
for one more little life!
