“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
