Some children ran down a dusty street (run in place),
Hurrying fast on their little feet (point to feet),
Through the crowd to find a place (pretend to push through a crowd)
Close to Jesus, to see his face (stand on tiptoe and look around).
Some grown-ups said, "Send them away" (hold hand out as if saying "stop").
"He is too busy for children today" (frown and shake head).
But Jesus said, "Let them come unto me" (beckon with hands).
"They are important and are loved by me" (hug self).
