God I Want A Child

This was my plea for almost four years.
There were much heartache and many a tear.

After much fighting, within myself,
I gave the matter to God and He isn't deaf.

He heard my prayers when I committed to Him.
Miraculously, He gave me my first son.
He was adopted, you see.

Then, six months later, I became very ill.
To the doctor I went and
He said I would have a baby.

Indeed, I did and this was my Chad.
I was so happy and my family was glad.

Thank you, Lord, for these blessings I have.
Four years later, I became sick, again.

Sure enough. I was being blessed with three;
A girl I desired and knew it would be.

Shay came into this world
And I am thankful he was a boy.

Don't give up if you want a baby
God maybe saying a little later.
