Our Children

Hearing their laughter
watching them play
puts a glories end too
a sometimes stressful day

checking their homework
hearing them read
sure makes it hard for me to believe

life's going so fast
seems like a blur to the past
wishing these moments could
always last

hearing them talk about their play
watching them tackle enough a tough day
hearing i love yous through out the day
makes me smile at the end of each day

scrapped knee's
stubbed toe's
hurt feelings
and a running nose
a temper strikes and fear sinks in
i hope its only the flu again
cuddling is my favorite time
even if it comes with a whine

Gods biggest blessing is children i say
no matter what they say
children are our blessings each day

put on loan from the good lord above
to provide them with good knowledge and love

to set for a goal
from the good lord above
who gave us this gift
as a sign of his love
