JESUS IS FOUND IN THE TEMPLE
The Bible is silent about the next six years
Of Jesus' life with his father and mother
There were sorrows and joys, laughter and tears
Love reigned in their little home as in none other
Pece continued till Christ was twelve years old
And with His parents to Jerusalem travelled
The Pasch was celebrated with reverence untold
Neither parent going home, at his absence cavilled
Early in the evening the child's loss was discovered
Back in Jerusalem they searched high and low
"How is it you sought me?" Christ asked when recovered
"My Father's affairs must come first as you know."
For the next twenty-one years they were seldom apart
But Mary bore the imprint of the child's loss on her heart
