there in the train.... a mum and two sons... thinking again

It'd be better to have parents
and miss your inheritance,
than to get all the goodies 
yet lose out on 'lations!

It's better to get God 
and miss his gifts,
than to get all God's gifts 
yet miss out on learning how to live (& use them) from your God - who is both father & mother!

Especially if your fam'ly's true,
for they will know just what to do,
& if they don't they'll still love you,
& share their own lives with you too!

So thanks to God "You're my Pa-paa,
though I don't know quite where you are,
but maybe as I've been a Dad
(the best insight I've ever had)

& talked to my kids 'in the womb'
(when neither Mum, nor Dad were seen -
or understood, it was too soon)
& yet we loved our kids between

us both, & separation's gift
was to allow more love to grow
between us as our child we lift-
ed (& they chose to let us know

the inside stuff, like hopes & fears,
to choose to listen & to learn,
& let love grow throughout the years,
respect, & don't just pout & spearn

advice and help that's offered them).
O God I will learn from them to
be a true child, who is a friend,
& offspring, of someone like you.
