Playtime
Let little children
run up and down as they please
play before their God.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19,14
nice…i love a god that is happy letting the children play…unlike some parents…smiles.
This is a great haiku. Good work.

My life’s challenge – to let the child, that never was, come out to play! I am always delighted to see those who indeed allow this to flow freely, as I believe it was intended. Thank you for this uplifting, loving and touching creation. Thank you for sharing! ~becca~

I agree with Bodhirose 
Yes! I totally agree!
Two of my favorite passages, the Bible and the stairs.
This really touched my heart. If only we could all be as playful and lighthearted as children–as I think it was intended… Thank you for this sweetness today.
