    Children

     My children are a gift from God--truly
    I know I had nothing to do with their creation
    Other than biology...innate.
    It took no planning or designing, they were already molded
    By the Father's hands.

    I kept them safe and warm inside--
    The womb he prepared for that very need
    Until they emerged to share their souls with mine
    In this chaotic, lovely world.
    What purpose and what paths we take
    He alone knows, but I appreciate
    The time He afforded me
    To be their Mom, their mentor, their guide
    ALthough I am ill qualified, He trusted me
    I must do my best, I MUST do my best.

    I like the emotional sentiment of beiing a mother in this poem. I like how you say you are ill qualified because I think a lot of mothers feel this way about themselves. I believe, also, that our children are a gift from God:) Very sweet tribute to children.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
