My Child

Author: Unknown

Oh God, when I first saw your face
When I first heard your happy voice
When I first could speak your name..
Your name..
Did you know your name is life to me?
Oh, how I love to hear you’re happy!
Your smiling eyes, your crazy laugh
Your stupid jokes, your bright face
Your name…
Did you know your name is life to me?
Oh, when you are happy
When your eyes smile
When you laugh
How I live!

Oh God, when I see your face
Hear your voice
Speak your name
I live!

You put in essence what it is that drives many parents to adopt or have children of their own. I was adopted and I have never had that yearning to have children of my own, though I have had fun in the past with my nephews. I do know that parents sacrifice a lot for the happiness of their children. The truly happy ones don't come by accident, there is tremendous work involved by way of true love from their family.
