COME CHILDREN

Come children—take my hand!

Let me lead you to the thick and lustrous pastures that await you.

There, you can run and jump and skip and play and not have a worry or a care.

Let’s go children—let me guide you—I am here for you!

To take you to the places you’ve never been before, but are comfortably familiar only to you.

Take my hand children—I am waiting for you!

Come and fly
