Keep Me Small

Keep Me Small

See me small, Lord, in your sight,
As small as lies a newborn child
In arms held firm, yet gently, mild,
Held safely in your guiding light,
See me small, Lord, in your sight.

Know me small, Lord, in your heart,
As small as flies a sparrow bird
Among a big and bolder herd,
Still feathered by you from the star,
Know me small, Lord, in your heart.

Keep me small, Lord, in your home,
As small as shies away a boy
To not with boastful talk employ
A curiousity to roam,
Keep me small, Lord, in your home.

About the Poet
Husband, father, grandfather, and each title is my joy. As a youth, poetry was a means to express the inexpressable. I was attracted to (and still am) the beauty and brevity of verse. All flows out from God, and like a proper prayer, can flow back.
