WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day
 
Seeing a little one out at play
 
"Mine, said the parent with a tender smile
 
"Mine to keep a little while
 
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
 
To tell him what he is to wear
 
To prepare him that he may always be good
 
And each day do the things he should"



"Whose child is this?" I asked again
 
As the door opened and someone came in
 
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile

"Mine to keep just for a little while
 
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
 
To train and direct his dear little mind
 
To help him live by every rule
 
And get the best he can from school"



"Whose child is this?" I asked once more
 
Just as the little one entered the door
 
"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
 
And each took the hand of the little child
 
"Ours to love and train together
 
Ours this blessed task forever."
