If cobwebs fill the corners
From the Boundless Life collection
If cobwebs fill the corners
That lurk within our mind
Our faith can help us brush aside
Each clinging thought we find
Until we glimpse a garden filled
With wonders unconfined,
A garden where children can play,
Children can play,
A garden where children can play.
Within that garden crafted
By childhood’s ageless dream
We each can walk a pathway
That leads to self esteem;
A way of life where we can pause
Beside life’s flowing stream,
A stillness which nurtures our peace,
Nurtures our peace,
A stillness which nurtures our peace.
We each can build a fence around
Our sacred inner child
Excluding all that does not come
As gentle, meek or mild
For life is more than cobwebbed silk
And love is bold and wild,
A dancing that wakens new life,
Wakens new life,
A dancing that wakens new life.
Note: see Matthew 18:3 “Unless you become as a little child, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (the way of wholeness).
