A LITTLE CHILD by CLYDE MCGEE

First Line: FOR THESE PARENTS
Last Line: HIS CURLY, GOLDEN HEAD.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; DISAPPEARED PERSONS; LINDBERGH BABY KIDNAPPING (1932); PRAYER; CHILDHOOD; MISSING PERSONS;
For these parents
And their child,
A nation's prayers,
A nation's fears,
A nation's hopes,
A nation's tears ...

Shadow with Thy presence, Lord,
Wherever be his bed;
Let neither hurt nor harm befall
His curly, golden head.
