THE FAMILY by Robert B. Langford The family is like a book, The children are the leaves; The parents are the covers That protective beauty gives.
The family is like a book, The children are the leaves; The parents are the covers That protective beauty gives.
At first the pages of the book Are blank and purely fair; Time soon writes in memories And paints the pictures there.
Love is the little golden clasp That binds up all the trust; Break it not lest all the leaves Will scatter and be lost.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of heaven."
