Little Lamb, who made thee?
Doest thou know who made thee,
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little lamb, who made thee?
Doest thou know who made thee?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Little lamb, I'll tell thee;
Little lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild,
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William Blake

May we remember, though they may not always appear as "sweet little lambs", that those entrusted to us are indeed close to God's heart and made in His image. May we love them, hug them closely, and always-always tell them of the first Lamb that was lead to the slaughter for their precious sakes....
