While they were still speaking about this,
he stood in their midst and said to them,
“Peace be with you.”
~ Luke 24:36
Just a little boy, quietly walking with his father on the beach
Oblivious to the world but for the waves lapping at their feet
Now the boy is turning twelve, his teens he’s about to reach
And soon he will be leaving, his own destiny to meet.
The years will pass by swiftly and the boy will become a man
He’ll always remember when he held onto his father’s hand
And when it is his turn to do the walking with his own
Nicely, tenderly, he’ll tell his kid “I know you understand.”
