PARENTS

LOVE SWEEPS GENTLY, IN THE EVENING MIST
THE YOUNG COUPLE EMBRACE WITH HEART FELT KISS
THEIR WEDDING WILL SOON TAKE PLACE
A LIFE TOGETHER, EAGER TO FACE
WORK AND RESPONSABILITIES WANTING TO SHARE
LAUGHTER AND JOY NO GOOD THING TO SPARE
EAGER TO START A FAMILY, WITH LOVING CARE
AS THE MONTHS SLIP BY, NEW LIFE BEGINS
EXCITEDLY PREPARING FOR THE NEW LITTLE FACE
THEIR FIRST SUBMISSION, TO THE HUMAN RACE
PAIN GIVES WAY , A NEW LIFE TO EMBRACE
MOTHER IS TIRED AND DAD IS ECSTATIC
HOW QUICKLY BABY GROWS AND STEALS THE SHOW
SOON TO WALK AND OH, THE TOOTHLESS TALK
WELL TIME PASSES QUICKLY ALONG
NO LONGER DOES MOM SING A GENTLE SONG
NO LONGER DOES DAD PULL THE SLEIGH OR TOSS THE BALL
THE BABY IS NOW THIRTEEN AND IS AT THE MALL
MANY FAITH FILLED PRAYERS AND GODS GRACE
WILL GUIDE THEM THROUGH ALL THEY FACE
CHILDREN SELDOME REALIZE PARENTAL  LOVE IN ITS FULNESS
BUT THAT WILL COME, AS THEY TAKE THEIR PLACE
THEIR OWN LITTLE ONES, TO LOVINGLY CHASE
LOVE IS LIKE THAT, GIVING TO GIVE, NOT TO RECEIVE
NEVER COUNTING PERSONAL OPORTUNITIES LOST
SACRIFICING MUCH , NO COUNTING THE COST
WHY DO PARENTS DO IT ? MOST NEVER KNOW!
BUT WE ARE MADE BY JESUS IN GODS OWN IMMAGE
THE HOLY BIBLE DOES CLEARLY SHOW
GOD GIVES US HIS ALL, THROUGH JESUS HIS SON
HIS LIFE GOD GAVE  US, SO NONE WOULD BE LOST
SUCH SACRIFICE WHO CAN COMPREHEND
BUT NOW THROUGH JESUS,  HE IS ABLE TO MEND
EVEN OUR CHILDREN, THE WORLD TRIES TO BEND
GOOD PARENTS ARE GODLY  AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY
PATIENTLY WAITING, PERSERVERING TO THE END.
