| God's Littlest Spirit "You're a Special Little Spirit," the great Master said, As he gently caressed the curly brown hair of the Little Spirit's head. "You need to go to Earth to spend some time, you know, A place I send most Spirits to help them learn to grow." The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed her curly head, And from her eye a tear did steal and down her cheek it slid. "Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long, I'll bring you back to help me here, you'll hardly know that you've been gone. You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye." And He wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit good-bye. "I'm back," Little Spirit whispered, as she climbed onto her Master's knee, And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me." And then, the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled in her eye. "Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?" "I'm glad I'm back," Little Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know, When your Angel came to get me, I didn't want to go. I know you said you needed me and that I'd be gone the shortest while, But Lord, why couldn't I have had a little longer trial?" The Master let Little Spirit slip down from off His knee, Then took the Little Spirits hand and said, "Come walk with me." The Little Spirit and her Lord walked slowly hand in hand, As He tried his best to explain to her His great and marvelous plan. "Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand that you needed me home. But I left in such a hurry, Now everyone is so alone. I didn't let my parents know how much I loved them so. I was much too small to tell them, Lord, how will they ever know? They feel that they've been cheated, and in a way, so do I. Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I tell them why?" I know your heart is heavy with this message you need to share. But you need not worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there. I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand. That will give them peace and ease their hearts, so they will understand. "I'll tell them that you're pure, as pure as Heaven's Gold, And that I needed you very much to keep Heaven from getting cold." Author Unknown |
