Blessings of a Child

A daughter is a heavenly gift,
Sent from up above,
Full of enightment and joy,
And she will always remain,
Your little girl,
And as beautiful as a dove.

If your blessed with a boy,
He is a blessing from God,
To be as handsome as his father,
To remind you of the days,
So, hold him closely and teach him well,
That he will know your ways.

No matter which one you have,
Whether it be a boy or a girl,
They are both heavenly gifts,
From up above,
Which may seem like,
A test from time to time,
However, always try to,
Remember the main thing,
You were blessed,
With a precious gift from God.

Not everyone has this gift,
And they become very heartless in life,
From time to time,
Cause they are jealous,
Of the people who are blessed,
With this precious gift from God,
So, they become hatred,
From time to time,
Instead of admiring the precious gift,
Which is a greater time in life,
And that is their greatest test.

I love the tone of this poem - we all should keep in mind that a child is a gift. Unfortunately in many parts of the world the issue of the boy versus the girl child is still very much debatable. But those who are unable to have a child understand that truly any child is precious. Great write John!
