I was so sure you would be the weak one <br />Even at birth you were so very small <br />Not long after a year you became sick <br />I feared it was time for Jesus to call <br /> <br />I felt helpless watching you while you slept <br />My prayers at night only asked to spare you <br />How could I survive without my baby <br />My heart would only last a day or two <br /> <br />After time you showed me how strong you were <br />You were too rotten and ornery to lose <br />Inside you is more courage than I have <br />All things in this life are yours if you choose <br /> <br />If only I knew just how to tell you <br />My heart belongs to you and your brother <br />And my entire life has been worthwhile <br />Thank you Lord for making me a mother <br /> <br />KIMBERLY FINE<br /><br />KIMBERLY FINE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/joe-12/
