When Mom was five years old--before she could read or write, she spent a lot of time playing in the forest. One day she came running in to tell Grandma that she'd written her first poem. Grandma loved it so much, she wrote it down. Perhaps even then, she recognized the first seeds of the writer her little daughter would become.
Years ago, I was inspired to draw this sweet lineart to compliment Mom's little girl poem.
Jesus and I were walking along together
We came to a tree and sat down together
We came to a tree and sat down together
And talked about heaven.

There is no doubt God has a special place in His heart for Children. I love the idea of a small child's adoration for the Shepherd...even before she could read. He was her Friend.
