BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY FOR A SUNBEAM

Oh my gosh sweet boy!
Look what I found!!
Your parents endearingly call you 'sunbeam'! I say- who could blame them?!
Its a perfect name for you.
You are divine!

IF I WERE A SUNBEAM

"If I were a sunbeam,
I know what I'd do;
I would seek white lilies,
Roaming woodlands through.
I would steal among them,
Softest light I'd shed,
Until every lily
Raised its drooping head.

If I were a sunbeam,
I know where I'd go;
Into lowly hovels,
Dark with want and woe:
Till sad hearts looked upward,
I would shine and shine;
Then they'd think of heaven,
Their sweet home and mine."

Are you not a sunbeam,
Child, whose life is glad
With an inner brightness
Sunshine never had?
Oh, as God has blessed you,
Scatter light divine!
For there is not a sunbeam
But must die or SHINE.
