Children are a blessing

To the one who understands,

I heard a comment made today, just one done in passing,
I know I should just laugh it off,
but my face, a smile was lacking.

My heart sank deep, my eyes they swelled,
Hands were clenched,
I wanted to yell

Complain about a blessing?
I just can't comprehend,
All my thoughts where quite depressing
My heart may never mend.

I take a moment for myself,
to calm,
Reflect and ask for help

As I pray to God above,
My smile returns,
And I feel his love

God is Faithful, God is True,
It's him I must trust,
Pray and look up to.

Words can't describe the comfort I feel,
The softening of my heart,
Knowing my God's love is real.
