Fingers and Toes

She counted His fingers and all of His toes Like all the good mothers do She kept all the secrets that nobody knows Well maybe a few others knew She raised Him to be the best He could be While teaching Him right from wrong She dreaded the things that she'd have to see And she knew that it wouldn't be long A miracle birth like never before A virgin gives birth to a Son Her first born child she'd love and adore But knowing what has to be done He laid down His life to redeem what was lost Though He never commited a crime Born to become the ultimate cost Defying the essence of time She counted His fingers and all of His toes Like she did when He was born The grief on her face as the pain plainly shows Her heart now broken and torn
