My Child

Wrapped in my womb A bundle of joy In times of distress a comfort for me I asked for one I was blessed with more One for now: as it will be forever My stomach: now a mountain A sign of your growth Fruit of youth time Blessing of old age An epitome of great joy A blanket of warmth :on cold nights A ray of light: at darkest times A ray of hope for me A fruit on my tree MY CHILD! my jewel My child, my eye I ask for one;I was blessed with more One for now as it will be forever.
