-A CHILD ON LOAN- <br /> <br />A child, <br />loaned to you for a time <br />to teach-to nurture <br />to love. <br /> <br />How long we keep that child <br />depends-not on us <br />or him <br />but God. <br /> <br />We must thank God for <br />that loan of a <br />precious spirit <br />so dear to Him. <br /> <br />And must not balk <br />when He asks for <br />repayment of that <br />loan. <br /> <br />Author Carolyn Ford Witt <br />Ms. Caroline <br />© 9-15-1976<br /><br />Carolyn Ford Witt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-on-loan/
