Motherhood

When a slap brings joy
A voice cries out 
Newborn girl, boy
Angels in Heaven shout

A voice cries out
Happy tears flow
Angels in Heaven shout 
Trumpets in Glory blow

Happy tears flow 
Breast milk fed
Trumpets in Glory blow 
Gentle strokes to the head 

Breast milk fed
Forever to enjoy 
Gentle strokes to the head
When a slap brings joy
