This Child of My WombThis child of my womb was a special gift ordered as if by designTo be born a girl by the end of June, no hint of discomfort was mineAt the appointed time this treasure emerged, joining our family in loveProclaiming to all with a lusty shout, “I’m here world, you’d better watch out!”And so it was, this child of my womb became the child of our heartsBringing joy and laughter through growing-up yearsAs well as some mischief and even some tearsTrue to your word you soon made it knownThat here was a girl with a mind of her ownYou grew as a woman with beauty and graceYour warmth and compassion showed on your faceWith friends you were blessed, I’m sure they all knewEach in their own way was important to youFrom Snow Queen to Jr. Citizen of the YearYour achievements were many, I had nothing to fearYou shot for the stars and achieved such a height There was never a doubt you’d do what was rightYou’d choose the right path in pursuit of your goalsBe the best that you could, whatever your roleYour teaching was legend, your students attestBy sending letters affirming “You were the best”And through it all you married the love of your lifeYou were best friends and companions, not just husband and wifeAnd by and by the children came, three jewels in your crownYour love for them, so plain to see, as each in turn joined your family treeSometimes I sit and ponder the things that you have doneThough the years have passed so swiftly, we still had so much funThe times we spent together, sharing laughter, joy and tearsWe really were true soul mates, you and I throughout the yearsI hope I’ve been the kind of mom my mother was to meI tried to do the best I could, to my limited degreeOur family link’s been broken, our hearts are broken tooBut we’ll go on and call to mind fond memories of youFor even though you’ve left us here we know without a doubtWe’ll meet again at heaven’s door and join that link forever moreSo child of my womb rest gently, heaven is your rewardYour battle now is over, you’re safe in the arms of Our Lord.
