The Gift of Love

To Kathy:
Let's play house.
I'll be the mommy, you be the daddy.
Rabbit, you be the sister.
We work, we play, we eat.
We pretend, we go to school,
we eat, we work, we play.
And sis, when you grow up
you can be a mommy too.
I know Teddy believed me.
I saw the look of excitement and anticipation.
That's how it is and will always be.
You'll see . . .

Well, I waited and waited.
I couldn't wait to be a mommy.
My friends were all becoming mommies -
just like the story goes.

And I waited and wished and hoped and prayed,
but no babies came my way.
I was starting to become alarmed
and question God and man.
I'm going to be a mommy too!!
This always was the plan,
but no babies came my way.

Tricks of science sometimes work,
but sometimes not I'm told.
Keep waiting they all seem to say.
(Until I'm too old - OH NO!)
I cannot let it end that way.

So now I have another plan
and one that's not so new.
Your baby's got to have a home
and I know mine will do.
In fact, that's just how I got here.
I know how this will work.

It is the Gift of Love
The Gift of Life
This makes the perfect plan. Your life is special and your parents cared
more than any others could
to create a home where love has been
waiting all so long
To embrace a child, girl or boy
A child all your own.
To raise and school and teach the rules
Especially about love
You can't always wait
You sometimes need to seek
You offered yourself and discovered
That the answer to your question
is the perfect answer to your question
is the perfect answer for parents and child alike
Not illegitimate as some have said
Oh no - never - not at all!
The Gift of Love is the Gift of Life
That's all you need to know!
