A Child Needs to Know

 

A Child Needs to Know

The vast open sea
The air we breathe
Each tall mountain range
A tree's single leaf

A blanket of snow
A cool spring rain
The sun's great warmth
A wide open plain

The sky of blue
A cold winter day
Each bird's sweet song
A tree's gentle sway

A flower's soft petals
The puppy you love
Each one is made
By God from above.
