baby Ema is going home
home to four bubbly sisters
a joyous mom
and a dad
I know David
I know his tender heart
not like God does
but
I know it
It didn't surprise me
to hear Molly's words
but it made me proud
and I am not his mom
I have watched David grow
I watched him wax strong
in body
and in spirit
but always tender
so Molly's words
brought glad tears from my heart
five little girls
and a mama
and a papa
they
will wax strong
in body
and in spirit
a family of seven
a quiver full
or filling
as God wishes
a joyous quiver
hearts set on Thanksgiving
even in the not so easy
because they know
the Giver of good gifts
the Giver of each breath
the Giver of today
God loves
a tender heart
my favourite things
