a prayer...

and a reminder of what our children can teach us:
 
O God, you have called us
to be like little children.

Give us the eyes of a child - 
curious and determined
to see what is going on.

Give us the ears of a child - 
sharp and attentive
to hear your word of love.

And give us the energy of a child - 
expecting a response
and confident that we can change the world.
Amen.
