A Child's Innocent Love
By Alecia Alford

A Child's small, tender hand
rests in a woman's calloused palm.
The pink hand of the child
is unworried, and trusting;
the worn hand of the mother is weary and loving.
Her hand is not that of a rich woman in the monetary field;
but, in the area of love,
she is exceedingly blessed.
The child's hand, so innocently bestows
that blessing upon her mother.
In temporal standards,
She is poor, and must work hard for what she has;
In eternal standards,
she is by no efforts of her own, rich indeed!
Her home is small but filled with love,
her car is old and falling apart,
but her loved ones don't complain!!
The food is simple, but made with love.
All this is portrayed, by the simple scene,
of a child's hand,
resting in her mother's palm!
