Because Of You


We never thought or even planned
another child by our hand
But God saw you and that precious boy
His life was meant to bring much joy


Things could have been so different
If another choice was made
One filled with sadness
not laughter and play.


No little bugs to run from
while squealing with delight
No “Mama I got boo-boos”
with kisses to make them alright.

No big wet smooches
with sticky little lips
Or precious little hands
with chubby fingertips

No sparkling blue eyes
for all the world to see
Or locks of blonde hair
or precious, little teeth



Because of you, new life begun.
Because of you, I have a son.
Because of you, the choice you made
has given us much brighter days.
Because of you, your sacrifice
has made a child with such life!



I can’t help but think of you
on every Mother’s Day
While others may condemn
and scoff
I will give you praise

Sounds like a song! That last verse would make a GREAT chorus! I've been thinking a lot lately after a few hard days how empty my life would seem and how different I'd be without the Vikings. Infertility struggles taught me way more than I realized at the time. Thanks for sharing.

Aww, how sweet! I feel the same way about my kids, they are a gift from God and my days are brighter and they do bring smiles to my face every day.
