Precious Gift
In my arms I held With ten little fingers So little and fragile As she looked up at me I placed her in the arms This person I know will take great She will grow to understand © Sharon Roberts
The most precious thing
Known to mankind
And ten little toes
Hair of brown and eyes of blue
I didn’t want to let go
With such uncertain eyes
She gave out a little cry
There I knew I had to let go
Of one that could not bear her own
But could give her all I could not
Care of her
Her life will be happy and secure
This I trust with faith and love
It was out of love for her
That with a kiss on the cheek
I placed her in the arms
Of the one she will call mother
