The Gift of a Child

Two blessed creating one, Conceived and nourished in love. A healthy daughter or son, A miracle from God above. The most precious gift of all, Is the gift of a child, To a longing, loving couple, Awaiting that sweet little smile. To know such amazing joy, When you feel your baby kick and move. A hidden treasure; a little girl or boy, Growing strong in their Mother's womb. To understand such amazing grace, When your baby finally arrives. To gaze for the first time upon your child's face With absolute joy and pride. A chance to live your life again, Through the innocent eyes of a child. To be carefree without a sin, Ready to forgive and easily beguiled. To see and talk with the angels once more. To play and to make believe. To find fun and happiness behind every door. To wait up for Santa on Christmas Eve. To be looked upon with trusting eyes, And to know there is nothing greater, Than to protect, provide, teach and guide, As a loving Mother and Father. As time goes by and your baby grows, With fond memories sweet and mild. You will come to know what Heaven knows, There is nothing more precious than the gift of a child.
