about a boy

God did say to Noah one day,
“Noah, I need someone to help Me.
Build a boat that can float,
And fill it full of many animals.
Take tigers and bears, chimps and hares,
Lions, monkeys, pigs, and horses.”

God shut the door, and it did pour,
Raindrops falling from the heavens.
Stormy skies — floods did rise!
But God saved Noah and the animals.
There were storks and cats, turtles and bats,
Chickens, elephants, and rabbits.

After many days, the sun’s bright rays
Began to dry up all the water.
And up above hung a sign of love
Written by God upon a rainbow!
Through the door they did pour,
Bullfrogs, hummingbirds, and eagles.
Geese and dogs, mice and hogs,
Lizards, kangaroos, and seagulls.

Not keen on the free to air channels, I have switched to dvds for Jayden. Nevermind that he might be far too young to understand every word, at least they are wholesome shows. And I have control over what he watches.

He is now on The Beginner’s Bible series and we are thinking of getting the Hermie series as well. Both are by Innoform Kids. The above lullaby / poem is from The Lullaby Bible and can be sung to the tune of All The Pretty Little Horses. These two, book and dvd work together to form a nice set that complements each other.
