My Ben
My Ben
In all my life and all my woes,
There is a blessing through the throes,
I'm sure God loves me since he gave me
Ben.
Ben tagged along, he brought me joy,
He was my own, my darling boy,
No love had I as pure as that of
Ben.
Early wakeups, bites from ants,
Sneaking biscuits in his pants,
I knew he took them and I laughed at
Ben.
Ev'rytime he played outside
Fresh flowers brought to me in pride,
Just made me love him even more, my
Ben.
His gentleness with those less strong,
His care of pets, his gift of song,
Are all a part and parcel of my
Ben.
When I am sick or troubled sore,
The phone will ring and tears will pour,
"I felt like there was something wrong." It's
Ben.
Connected with a love so true
He knows when I am sad or blue,
He reaches out in love for me, my
Ben.
When pity-parties I should hold,
And think on dross instead of gold,
Lord, remind me that you gave me
Ben.
I loved that one Jess. He is obviously some one very special.
Dear Jessica,
As everything that you post this is so plainly written with love.
Our children are a true joy. The memories that they give us are priceless. I loved the line that talked about sneaking biscuts in his pants! LOL So much like a child, and something that my son would do.
May you always have the love of your children.
Love,
Lesa
