A Gift From God
by Tonja Taylor (I found this poem, which I had written over 20 years ago, when I dedicated my precious daughter to the LORD on Mother's Day in 1997. She was just three months old.)
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.--Psalm 127:3-5, KJV
A child is such a precious thing, A gift of love from God our King; A little girl or little boy To teach, and show the special joy We have while walking with the LORD In faith and light and sweet accord-- A child to raise up in His ways, That they might know safe, peaceful days Amid the turmoils of this world To blossom like a flower unfurled, And with the Truth themselves to gird-- To spread His wondrous, saving Word.
A child is given from above, Proof of the Father's faithful Love; A blessing, on a long-term loan-- The future, where His seed is sown.
