God's most precious gift to all......
Baby Mine (My Sunshine..... Born in the morning before daylight, curly hair so blonde, it appears white. Wrinkly skin, frown upon your face, people anxious to see you from all over the place. Holding you in my arms so close to my heart, hope and pray we two never part. How tiny, how precious, so much hope, will I always be there to help you cope. A gift from God, a beautiful new life, how will we manage your future strife. Rocking your cradle, you fall asleep, wrapped in a blanket, shhhhh not a peep. One thumb gently sucking, other in your hair, will life's journey be cruel, or fair. I make you this promise, I love you and care, so much to show, teach and share. A mystery unfolding in time we will know, searching, learning, fast you will grow. Where will you go, what will you grow to be, time only knows, patiently wait and see. Tricycle, roller skates, bicycle and ball, exploring, playing, enjoying it all. Soon growing older, I hope you will remember, Always will I be there, a life long member.

Very touching. I relived the birth of my babies and watched them grow as you described your baby and your wishes, hopes and dreams for your child. Excellent. Liz

This is fresh with strong images. I love the line that babies are a gift from God, how to manage future strife.....There is absolutely no way to accomplish that without God. As the parent of a child with special needs, I certainly have grown to accept that as Truth.

You have a lot of good articles on the mentally retarded that I will be enjoying catching up on. As I come closer to publishing my book about my son with severe disabilities, i hope to share more as well. Thank you for the blessing tonight with your gift of writing. Peace,
Agnes

Outstanding write, for a mother's love is like no other. I recall when my children were tiny little bundles in their cribs sitting and pondering their life...what were their dreams going to be, who would they look like, would they marry, would they have children of their own...would they grow up to serve the Lord..it don't seem but only a few years ago that I pondered upon these questions and now time has slipped away and I have answers to each of them...I am very pleased and content with my children and their choices in life as I was very pleased and content when the doctors and God put each one in my arms to nurture and love....great write my friend!
Blessings,
