Of Children There Are Three-My Lovely Children

Of children born to me, there are three One on my heart, one on my lap, one on my knee Comparison is impossible of them now They are all so different somehow One has a musical gift, one an artist Another mechanical talents started God blessed us with each child in so many ways By the joy of each birth on their special day Our son a handsome babe with a little downy hair One daughter was a long girl with complexion so fair Our youngest daughter had touch of red in her hair Woke each morning early to greet us exhibiting gentle air They each love God and are His adopted child Growing each day in His love and mercy mild I thank God that I got to know them from birth It is so great to see them develop into souls of worth

I liked that line as well..My mother used to say, "When they are little they walk on your toes, and when they get grown they walk on your heart"...Thanks for stopping by..Sara

Daniel, Thanks for stopping by..Yes, a mother can love the homeliest child and the child who needs are hard to meet..I don't see how some get through what they go through in rearing a family..Sara

One son, two daughters. I too found that to be the perfect trio. He was oldest and always looked after his sisters. Congratulation on your family and your poetry. Love, Joyce

Eileen, 21 is a good age..They are adult and parents can see that it was worth all the work that went into the rearing of that child..Sara
