Poem: My Special Gift

I’ve been given a gift
That touches my heart
That blesses me so
That I dare would part

The gift that I have
That I love so dear
Is being that of a mother
It brings to my eye so many a tear

They were given to me
To raise all life through
To love, teach and guide
Be a friend for them too

I have plans for my children
To yet come to my home
To give them a life
Heaven is where they now roam

I love them now
I think of those precious children
Who need me, their future mother
To show the Christ’s plan

What a special gift
To call these children mine
To love all my children
Through the rest of time
