Poems (Crandall)/Our Little Ones

by Rosa Neil Crandall

Our Little Ones

Oh, be gentle with the children,
  Keep them happy all the day;
Many trials and temptations,
They must meet on life's rough way.

May we teach and guide them wisely,
  Guard their feet from every snare;
Knowing that these souls immortal,
  God has trusted to our care.
