Something was missing from this life of mine
So I prayed to my Father for a miracle divine
I've ached for a child for so many years
I've cried out to Heaven and shed many tears

I prayed once again for God's precious grace
And asked Him to, please, fill that empty space
A peace flooded my heart and I knew it was true
My prayer would be answered...God led me to you

This wasn't exactly the answer I'd planned
But I knew that it came from His almighty hand
I had asked for a child that would love and need me
God, in His wisdom, looked down and sent three

Stephen, the oldest, is a very special boy
His teasing says, "I love you" and fills my heart with joy
Sarah's my sweetheart with eyes full of love
A heart full of compassion, she's a gift from above
David was just a baby when into my life you came
He crept into my heart, now I'll never be the same

There were other "babies" too: hamsters, lizards, kittens,
Fishes, birds, a guinea pig, and Katie and Mittens
The kids bring me joy too rich to compare
But a peace fills my heart when I find you are there

We've shared many joys and endured lots of pain
We've played in the sunshine as well as the rain
So God knew what He was doing, though I didn't have a clue
Now I thank Him daily for leading me to you
