Whose Child is This?
=============

Whose child is this?
I asked one day
Seeing a little one outside at play.
"Mine," said the parent
With a tender smile,
"Mine" to keep a little while.
To bathe him and comb his hair,
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 a tender smile,
"Mine" to keep just for a little while.
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
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 a hand of the little child
"Ours" to love and nurture together
Ours this blessed task forever.
