A mother said to her little son
that had just been born
we will love and care for you
and keep you safe and warm

you will hear the roar of the ocean
you will climb the mountains high
you will see the beautiful valleys
and eat mom's apple pie

you can view the beautiful sunsets
and get to know our God
you can hear the morning birds sing
that play out in the yard

you can see many football games
and play in all kind of sports
you can sit with your girlfriend
in a swing on her mama's porch

but life's not always pleasant
you'll have your ups and downs
but what ever life's troubles
we'll always be around

I hope you will always be humble
as you deal with your fellowman
you can always do this, if you
remember we're made of sand

proud I am as I look at you now
so small in my hand
it's hard to imagine that
one day, you will be a man

one day you'll look at your son
or daughter as the case may be
as you hold it in your hand
I hope you'll be as proud as me

Sad to say, because of abortions millions of kids each year will not experience this. Ironically many families would gladly take these in, and love them.
