I Would Gather Children

Some would gather money Along the path of life,

Some would gather roses, And rest from worldly strife;

But, I would gather children From among the thorns of sin,

I would seek a golden curl, And a freckled, toothless grin.

For money cannot enter In that land of endless day,

And roses that are gathered Soon will wilt along the way.

But, Oh, the laughing children, As I cross the sunset sea,

And the gates swing wide to heaven I can take them in with me.
