The Kingdom Poem by Kathryn BecknerOssman

To enter the Kingdom, little children you must be
For it’s through a child’s eyes that you truly see
There is no purer soul then that of a child
A mind of pure innocence, a demeanor so mild

Life has its struggles, that’s part of his test
You are put here on earth to figure out the rest
He never gives more then one man can bear
Forgiving and loving, always there

Have faith and be childlike whenever you can
Remember it’s all a part of God’s plan
For evil is the Devil’s game
He wants us all to live with shame

To enter the Kingdom, little children you must be
He will be at the gate to welcome with glee
All of the children who have now come back home
Where they will sit on each side of his throne
