I Would Gather Children...
I WOULD GATHER CHILDREN Some would gather money Along the path of life Some would gather roses, And rest from worldly strife. But I would gather children From among the thorns of sin, I would seek a golden curl, And a freckled, toothless grin.
For money cannot enter In that land of endlessday, And roses that are gathered Soon will wilt along the way. But oh, the laughing children As I cross the sunset sea, And the gates swing wide to heaven, I can take them in with me!~Author Unknown
