child's poem

[Scott]

One of my sons, who recently turned six, came out from his bedroom this today and asked if we wanted to hear a poem he thought of. We wrote it down. This is what he came up with:

The evil things
will not get me
from dusk to dawn

For I will call
upon the Lord
and they will flee
from the wrath of God.

I was pretty impressed for someone who just turned six. His 8 year old brother read it, looked skeptical, and said, "Where did you get this - the Bible?"

 

[turmeric]

Good poem. Also the beginnings of expressions of faith?

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

I like it, well done!

It reminds me of Psalm 91:

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

 

[Scott]

The interesting thing is that it just came to him. He was by himself and just thinking. We weren't in the middle of family worship or anything. It reminds me also of the psalms.
