My Blessing
by Geraldine Neighbors

Lord, you blessed me with three wonderful boys,

and a darling little girl.

Now what more could a mother want,

In this old sinful world.

But I cried and prayed to you dear Lord,

And asked, "How can this be?"

My little girl can't speak a word,

Why did this happen to me?

Then I prayed and asked you Lord,

To help my baby talk.

But, I looked around me in this old world,

And said, "Thank you Lord. my baby can walk."

Here's a child with twisted legs,

She will never run and play.

This little girl will never hear,

Or see the light of day.

My baby can't say "Mommy, I love you"

And if she does it will be your touch.

But you gave her two loving arms,

Sparkling eyes, and a smile that can say so much.

Dear Lord I'm not asking you

to take my burden away.

I just Thank You Lord, and ask you,

To help us from day to day.
