A Child to Love

You can have your
wealth and riches
All the things
so many seek, Position, power,
and success, The fame you long to keep.

You can earn as
much as you wish,
Reach a status
high above,
But none of
these can equal
Having one sweet
child to love.

'Tis the greatest
gift from heaven,
Little arms that
hold you tight,
And a kiss so
soft and gentle
When you tuck
them in at night.

A million precious
questions
And each story
often read,
Two eyes so bright
and smiling,
And a darling
tousled head.

God has never
matched the goodness
Of a trusting little face,
Or a heart so full
of laughter
Spreading sunshine
every place.

A child to hold
and cuddle, 'Tis a gift
from God above,
And the world is
so much brighter
When you have a
child to love.
