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."
