When I was a little girl I owned a picture of Jesus with the little children.  It was a cheap, cardboard print in a cheap, plastic frame.  But, oh, that picture of the kind, loving Christ warmed my heart!  Part of the charm may have been a little poem written at the bottom that made me wish I could sit at the feet of Jesus.  Through the years the print has been lost and the stanza has faded from memory, yet there are still times I wish I could look at it once more, or even go back in time to put my special picture of Jesus in a safe place. 

Then along came the internet.

A google search of  "Jesus and the Children" brought up that long lost picture by Francis Hook entitled "Jesus withthe Little Children."   Another search with the few lines I could remember brought up the poem entitled "The Sweet Story of Old" by Jemima Luke!  Please take a moment to follow the links and be blessed.

Here are the lines on my precious print:

I wish that His hands had been placed on my heard,

That His arm had been thrown around me;

and that I might have seen His kind look when He said,

"Let the little ones come unto Me."
