Safeguarding Little Ones

These little ones
Have known my name
They're oh so quick to call
At point of need
When darkness comes
When threatened with a fall.
Not big on self
Supremely poor
In spirit, they confess.
And that's their strength
They run to me
That all my power might bless.
And many tried the bluster
And posed the fashion's way
And earned and learned
Things over-turned
Before the end of day.
So now they give me one eye
And never stray too long
Their only care
That I am there.
My help, their trust and song.
