Her face lights up
As she joins her dimpled hands in prayer.
"Dear friend Jesus, it’s my birthday soon,
Oh, how I would like to visit Your animals at the zoo.
I want to see them, two by two,
Just like You’ve shown me in my Bible,
Obedient to You.
Please, oh please, say You'll come too.
The lions and tigers, bears and baboons,
Farm animals, pets, fish and birds,
All shapes and sizes,
Magnificently coloured by You."
-The rain poured down -
The day was gloomy and dim…
"Let’s go with our brollies and wellies and coats,
He’s waiting to show us…" her little voice croaked.
So as not to disappoint, we all ventured out,
Her childish faith leading the way.
Armed with party packs, presents and other goodies too,
We were set, ready to face the day
At the zoo.
The clouds still hung low, the ground boggy and damp,
But her delightful spirits were high.
As we followed the path, before us we saw,
A ray of sunlight break from the sky.
"Oh! Thank You!"
She exclaimed as she ran to the Light.
"I just knew...You'd be here too!"
