My Three Children
Nancy McDonald 1968 (Blytheville, Arkansas)
So many choices
And God chose me
For my three children
Their mother to be
First there came Zachary
Then Amber followed suite
Next there was Rachel
All three were so cute
They brought me such joy
Each and everyday
That I always wanted them at home
To forever stay
But time marches on
And they grow up so fast
I knew that their time at home
Would not forever last
They will always be my babies
No matter their age
For they have always been a blessing
Through every stage
I guess you could say I'm a mother
Who is bursting with pride
For when it comes to my children
My feelings I can't hide
I love them all three
More than words could ever say
In my eyes they will always be perfect
In everyway
