"Peek
A Boo - I see You."
I
overheard my neighbor's child.
"Peek
A Boo - I love You."
I
watched and listened for awhile.
The
little girl skipped down the walk,
Humming
as she moved.
From
time to time, I'd see her stop,
And
sing her childish tune.
"Peek
A Boo - I see You."
Her
sweet face listened so intent.
"Peek
A Boo - I love You."
Then
down the path she went.
I
saw her do this several times,
Poor,
lonesome child, I thought.
She
only has a nursery rhyme,
To
go with her on her on a walk.
Peek
A Boo - I see You."
She
did it then once more.
"Peek
A Boo - I love You."
Then
I scurried out my door.
I
could not stand it any longer,
What
did this child see?
I
hurried up and caught her,
Hoping
she'd explain to me.
"Peek
A Boo - I see You."
Her
face buried in some daisies.
"Peek
A Boo - I love You."
Was
this child crazy?
"Honey,
I called out to her,
What
are you looking at?"
(I
may have to tell her mother,
And
I needed all the facts.)
She
gave me a vacant stare.
And
said, "There's nothing wrong!
I
see Lord Jesus everywhere,
That's
why I sing my song."
"Mama
says He's in the flowers,
And
He's in the bushes and the trees.
And
He's in rainbows and in showers,
And
He's even in the breeze."
"I
see Him everywhere I look,
And
I like to tell Him so.
You
see, He's not just in The Book,
He's
everywhere I go."
"Peek
A Boo - -I see You."
I
peeked into her precious face.
"Peek
A Boo - I love You."
Then
I thanked God for such grace.
