Poem by John F. Brand - "Close Kin"

The day was very chilly,
And the little girl’s coat was thin.
She stood at the bakery window,
And was longingly looking in.
A lady came by and invited her
Some cocoa and cookies to share.
“Are you God?” asked the little girl
Of the lady who seemed to care.
“No,” she said, “but I’m His child,”
And the little girl started to grin,
“Because you were so kind to me,
I was sure that you were some kin.”
