"Why God Made Little Boys"

I stumbled across this poem (author unknown) and really liked it:

God made the world out of His dreams 
Of magic mountains, oceans and streams, 
Prairies and plans and wooded land, 
Then paused and thought "I need someone to stand 
On top of mountains, to conquer the seas, 
Explore the plains and climb the trees. 
Someone to start out small and to grow, 
Sturdy, strong as a tree…" And so, 
He created boys, full of spirit and fun, 
To explore and conquer, to romp and run. 
With dirty faces and banged up chins, 
With courageous hearts and boyish grins. 
When He had completed the task He'd begun 
He surely said "A job well done".


And it made me think of this little boy who I had the pleasure of meeting two weeks ago for the very first time....what a sweet-natured, vivacious, and handsome little one. I tell you, he is going to be one of those boys mentioned in the poem above...he will most definitely be one to romp around and for sure will have a very courageous heart.

He was a champ riding around the house in his
"car"...he's going to be walking sooooon!
