Title: The Joy of Children Writer: Betsy Rodino

I held my little bundle of joy, my first born, brand new baby boy. Conceived by two so much in love, he was delivered to us from up above.

Totally helpless, he depended on me to feed him and love him so tenderly. So sweet and innocent, his warming smile makes me so happy that he is my child.

His hair dark brown and eyes of blue turning green by the age of two. Such a good natured baby, a pure delight by the grace of God he is so bright.

He was so adorable and grew so fast I loved every moment and hoped it would last. But before you'd know it, he'd be in school I'd have to let go, that is the rule.

Before too long, there would be another, God gave two to this appreciative mother. I was blessed with a child with lots of curls my beautiful, wonderful baby girl.

She was healthy and adorable and very sweet, Her brother would help by kissing her cheek. Such a head of hair from the day she was born, it looked so comical come every morn.

What a beautiful baby, this I knew with her hair light brown and eyes so blue. He hair grew long, she wore it in braids I would braid it for hours, I'm afraid.

The time came again when she was four that God would grant us just once more with the birth of another, a baby boy the love of my life, my pride and joy.

Cute as a button and smart as a whip, we weren't prepared or even equipped. We embraced the birth of this baby of ours knowing his love was meant to empower.

He learned real young that he was unique by taking his time in learning to speak. He'd grab our attention and have much fun inviting us all to beckon and run.

Our family has grown by the birth of three. It's the way it was planned; it was meant to be. Each child accepted with our great love We'll always be thankful to God above.

They're almost grown, my daughter and sons, You'd think by now my work would be done. I will always love them and their offspring even though it means they will spread their wings.
