Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Death - Children; God; Heaven; Death - Babies; Paradise
Except like little children ye believe,
Ye shall not see the Kingdom of your God.
Ever the eternal verities deceive
The mightiest minds, the brave that upward plod
The way so many wilder'd feet have trod,
While unto little children hath been given
Faith that shall open wide the gates of Heaven!
