[tri-wings] Re: MY PERFECT CHILD!!

Our children are special, they are unique in every way... They are so
different from the other all they do is give love in there perfect little
ways.

As my children were born,
I wanted them to be perfect.

When they were babies,
I wanted them to smile and be content playing with their toys.
I wanted them to be happy and to laugh continually
instead of crying and being demanding.
I wanted them to see the beautiful side of life.

As they grew older,
I wanted them to be giving instead of selfish.
I wanted them to skip the terrible twos.
I wanted them to stay innocent forever.

Michele, I really appreciated your poem. What a blessing it is to have a
perfect child. I read the following poem a couple of years ago and kept it.
Our ways definitely are not His ways.

--Grandpa Paul
Kansas

I asked God to take away my pride,
And God said "No."
He said it was not for him to take away,
but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
And God said "No."
He said her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
And God said "No."
He said patience is a by-product of tribulations.
It isn't granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
And God said "No."
He said he gives me blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain.
And God said "No."
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly
cares and brings you closer to Me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
And God said "No."
He said I must grow on my own.
But he would prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
And God said "No."
He said I will give you life,
that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others,
as much as he loves me.
And God said, Ah, finally you have the idea.
