it spoke to me....

O Father who gavest
My baby to me,
May the love of my child
Bring me closer to Thee.

May the Children of earth
Who know not Thy Son,
Be more precious to me
Because of my own.

*Found this in my Mamaw Treat's stack of papers. I thought it was beautiful and kind of like she was speaking to me today. I don't know if she wrote it because she did write lots of poetry and kept a journal (I love to do that, too) but she also wrote down bits of things here and there that she read or heard and found interesting. She often said about a bit of poetry that she had written down from a book, "it spoke to me". And, I guess I know just what she meant by that. Today, this little poem, "spoke to me". Enjoy!!
