'Child Rest In Me' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Child I watch you as you wrestle with life’s
Ups and downs
Come unto me and we can talk about them
As I rid you of all of your frowns

Put your burdens at the foot of the cross
And leave them there
For I am here to comfort you and to show
You how much for you that I care

I know things get rough but let me say
I will help you always so
Just call on me night or day

Nothing is going to happen that I can’t handle
You must by faith hold on
Until the last breath from your body is gone

I won’t forsake you nor leave you alone
I don’t expect you to make it on your own

Lay down in peace dear one
For I will be here When you awake
Your burdens and sins then from you will I take

When the storms rage outside
of your window be ye not afraid
For storms are also creations I have made

I will guard you and keep you from all harm
I will guide you and make everything alright
For I will forever keep you in my sight
