Thursday, April 5, 2007 - My Gift of Joy

Just yesterday I was waiting,

To meet my brand new joy,

Enter into this great big world,

My tiny little boy.

Hands so small and eyes so blue,

            I received you with a smile,

I held you in my arms so close,

            If only for a while.

Through frogs and mud and childhood days,

            They seemed to go so fast,

I wished that they would last forever,

            But childhood days have past.

I watched you grow and as you grew,

            I knew you’d always be,

A tiny treasure sent from God,

            Given for a time to me.

Beneath the man that stands there now,

            I will always see that boy,

I met that day some years ago,

            God's precious gift of joy.

A beautiful poem that nearly bought a tear to my eye. What a gift we have with being Mothers.

Very lovely poem. It speaks what I feel as well, although my oldest just turned 7! Those seven years have been wonderful, but have gone by so quickly.
