Children's Choir

Young boys and girls

dressed in starched shirts and slacks

sing their songs of praise

to the Almighty as the audience

of adults take in this scene

with smiles all around

for the sound of these children,

even with their voices

cracking on every high note
that puberty won't let them hold,

reminds all that the church

still has a future, that one day

the children will take the place

of the adults and watch

their children sing.
