What Greater Gift? When was a morning ever so beautiful When was a child ever so sweet When did my heart in all of it’s glory Ever feel joy so warm and complete What greater gift was ever bestowed me What greater beauty has captured my eye What sweeter breath has touched me with fragrance Pure as a rose in the breeze passing by Who could describe the sentiments pouring Straight from the deepest wells of my heart Tears can’t begin to tell of this moment Who could imagine what words to impart How did I come to warrant this pleasure How did my world turm so suddenly grand I could have never imagined a treasure So warm and so beautiful layed in my hand Why are the tears spilling over my smile Why do I feel so fulfilled and complete Now that I’ve lived years of joy and of sorrow The birth of a grandson is ever so sweet Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 05-13-2001).] |
