Bodily Pain
The
bodily pain
Cannot surpass the joy
Of the first moment
I held my baby boy
He
has shown me
The meaning to everything
He is the voice
That makes my soul sing
And
in the days gone by
I have wondered time and again
Would I take those steps
To hold another child within
Could
I handle the bodily pain
In order to receive yet another
For my son who I hold so dear
To have a sister or brother
I
would I am sure
Take on that tough trial
In order to fill my life
With yet another child
I
would take the morning sickness
Discomfort keeping me in bed
I would take the back aches
And even the aguish in my head
All
for another soul
To be joined forever with mine
The joy of holding another baby
Is a passion I must find
A
mothers strength is not perfection
But her soul is forever a slave
To the risk of when I must again carry
I know in that time I will be brave
And
when that child comes to me
I pray with all of my might
That in the eyes of the Lord
That I do by that child what is right
