This is a poem I wrote upon the birth of my son Alex. It was such an amazing time for me as a new dad, but the sheer sense of awe, wonder and excitement at the thought of the precious gift that my Father in Heaven had committed to my hands, was nothing short of mind blowing. Only a mother and father know what it is like to love flesh of your own flesh, and it is truly something that cannot be aptly put into words. But with all my heart and sincerity, I can say that nothing has brought me to a deeper understanding of God’s love for me, than experiencing my own love for my children, and the knowledge that His love for me is so much greater.
Dreams of Children
Fly with me to the end of the rainbow,
Come let’s play among the stars.
We can journey through the dreams of children,
Twice ’round the Moon and once ’round Mars.
We’ll ask the stars their deepest secrets,
Play hide and seek on Saturns rings.
Let’s sing and dance on heavens doorstep,
Now speak of love and wonderful things.
Oh! Let us skip down heavens highstreet,
Sit upon the pavement made of gold.
We can listen to the song of the Lamb
And to all the stories that He told.
Sail with me to paradise,
With me please come my dearest friend.
Let’s explore the dreams of children,
May we hope and pray they’ll never end.
Written by John Dunning.
