A Child

A Child
By Margie Anne Bernard 

The gift of a child 
is a blessing from above, 
placed in a parent's arms 
to be cherished and loved. 
With his or her first cry, 
of unspoken words 
comes a message so simple, 
'I need to be heard'. 
He or she never asks for much 
only to be fed and nurtured 
with a kind gentle touch. 
A child will follow in your footsteps 
in the wisdom of your years. 
Please walk this child through laughter, 
not unanswered tears.
