Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
When 20 beautiful children stormed through Heaven's
gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled
the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw
there.
They were filled with such joy; they didn't know
what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened
earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a little girl, as
quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven," declared a small boy.
"We're spending Christmas at God's
house".
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
But Jesus, their Savior, the children gathered
near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just
the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only Heaven can
bring
Those children all flew into the arms of their
King.
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
One small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
And as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of
Mom and Dad."
Then He looked down on Earth, at the world far
below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe.
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His
hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!
May this country be delivered from the hands of
fools.
I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my
schools! "
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"Come now my children let me show you around.
"
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some
ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child
can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
