The image of a child
Long before the world began,
All of God's children knew of his plan.
A plan to come to earth to live,
To learn, to love, to share, to give.
Mothers were chosen, each child to conceive:
Each child would be given a chance to acheive.
That portion of live, no matter how brief,
To be a real person, to prove his belief.
To prove that all people born to this earth,
Are children of God, each life of great worth.
Some would be fathers, and some would be mothers,
Still others are born to be sisters or brothers.
Sometimes a life ends before it's begun,
Dreams are broken for that daughter or son.
The name had been picked for a girl or a boy,
Even bought furniture, diapers and toys.
And now all that is left is the hurt and the pain,
Good people try to help, then they try to explain.
Some say "It just wasn't meant to be",
Some say "Wait awhile, you'll forget, you'll see".
But deep in the hearts of the father and mother,
Is the image a child unlike any other.
The image of that child lives on in their hearts.
The need is real, their love to impart.
To impart to that child,
Their love and their giving.
The image of that child,
In their hearts will be living.
You will live on in my heart--
I will love you always....
Mom
