Where are you going, my little one?

My Ben, Dan, and Rebecca, 1981


Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Where are you going, my baby, my own?

my oldest grand, age 2

Turn around and you're two,

my princess grand, age 4


Turn around and you're four,

my next to littlest grand


Turn around and you're a young (man) going out of my door.

my baby grand


Turn around and you're tiny,
Turn around and you're grown,

My Rebecca



Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own.1

My Rebecca, oldest grand, and Stephen, 2006

"Before the presence of the Lord; lift up your hands to Him for the life of your little ones." (Lam. 2:19b)
