God granted me the privilege to become a Mother.
Every beautiful child is precious like no other,
They are not given as a possession to own.
God could call them back, for they are on loan.
It is my duty to nurture them with loving care.
To teach them to talk to Our Father in prayer.
No two are alike, each one is truly a gift.
That gives my spirits a sacred lift.
For I will watch them grow to adulthood,
Glad they know Jesus from childhood.
That way when it is my time to say good-bye,
Their faith in God will let them know why
We'll meet again: the gates of heaven will open wide,
Jesus with outstretched arms will welcome us inside.
So you see sweet child rest next to my heart
We have years to go before we have to part.
