Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Tears of Joy

Tears of joy
Ran down her face
As she held her baby boy
In a tender embrace
Enfolding him with loving care
This moment wasn't one to share
A precious time to get to know
And teach this heaven-sent newborn
How to grow,
Into a strong and loving boy
Who made his Mother shed tears of joy
