A Child
A Child
By Margie Anne Bernard
The gift of a child
is a blessing from above,
placed in a parent's arms
to be cherished and loved.
With his or her first cry,
of unspoken words
comes a message so simple,
'I need to be heard'.
He or she never asks for much
only to be fed and nurtured
with a kind gentle touch.
A child will follow in your footsteps
in the wisdom of your years.
Please walk this child through laughter,
not unanswered tears.
