The Chosen Ones
~ M. Hartsell ~

My little ones we love you so,
Of this one thing we hope you know.
We had so much love we needed to give,
You needed love to help you live.
God saw the need so he arranged
To give you to us, but it's so strange
For now we know we've both become
God's special chosen ones.

All babies come from God, we know,
But we chose you from all the rest,
To love and hold and be the best
Of parents as God shows us how
To guide and lead along life's way.
And one day we hope that you will say,
"God chose YOU for our very own,
Thank you God for giving US
Such special chosen ones."
