“Growing,” Friend, Apr. 1984, 15
Growing
A tiny seed can grow to be
Thumb and index finger together
A shady, leafy apple tree.
Arms held up as branches
A bunny has a funny habit
Wiggle nose
Of growing up to be a rabbit.
Two fingers (ears) up; stroke with other hand
Have you seen a pollywog?
Hands swimming
It will grow up to be a frog.
Left palm up for lily pad; right hand (frog) jumps onto pad
What of children in a row?
Both hands, all fingers up
Do you think that they will grow?
Arms extended up
Of course they will, and there is One
Pointer finger up
In whose image they become.
Right arm up
Children of God may grow to be
Nod head yes
Like Him by living faithfully.
Fold arms
