Comforted

 

Just a little kid.

A stumble and a fall.

Bruised knees and tears.

Mommy. Daddy.

Is the call.

Hands reaching down.

Everything's o'k.

Just a little kid.

Comforted this way.

Grownup little kid.

A stumble and a fall.

Bruised pride and tears.

Father. Jesus.

Is the call.

Hands reaching down.

Everything's o'k.

Grown up little kid.

Still comforted the same way.
