A Blessing

A child is a blessing sent from above. A child is what happens when two people 
are in love. From the very first look from the very first touch. The very first smile, 
you remember so much.
 Their hands so sweet and soft to the touch. How could you not love something 
this much.
 Your heart spills wide open, with nothing but love. Thanking the lord from our
heavens above.
 Each day your love yet grows deeper. Knowing that this one is god's little keeper.
The keeper of hearts, hopes and yes dreams. All of life little deem's.
 It's what keeps us going from day to day. Would you really have it any other way?
 So remember this next time your child doesn't listen. Look in their eyes and 
watch for the glisson.
 Just like they did from the very first day, and remember those words you had to 
say.
