Poetry Focus

15. 
 “Whose child is this?” I asked one day
 Seeing a little one out at play
 “Mine”, said the parent with a tender smile”
 “Mine to keep a little while.
 To bathe his hands and comb his hair
 To tell him what he is to wear,
 To prepare him that he may always be good,
 And each day do the things he should”.
Whose Child is This?

16. 
 “Whose child is this?” I asked again.
 As the door opened and someone came in.
 “Mine”, said the teacher with the same tender smile.
 “Mine, to keep just for a little while.
 To teach him how to be gentle and kind,
 To train and direct his dear little mind,
 To help him live by every rule,
 And get the best he can from school”.

17. 
 “Whose child is this?” I asked once more,
 Just as the little one entered the door.
 “Ours”, said the parent and the teacher as they
smiled
 And each took the hand of the little child
 “Ours to love and train together.
 Ours this blessed task forever.”
