Parents
My heart sings when I see you smile
Sees promise when you concur each trial
Fills with hope at each accomplishment
Breaks when I see your personal torment
I give thanks to the father I can turn to
I can pray for strength to get you through
I'm blessed to be mother to a child of god
Through trials try to hold fast to the Iron rod
Parenthood brings happiness as well as pain
Hope for recovery when they drive you insane
When all is said and done you can still smile
As they become parents & begin there own trial
They will know the pain as well as the joy
You'll once again pray for each girl and boy
Your children now can understand how you feel
As they now are the ones trying to deal!!
