It's been years since I've been to a baby shower, A sign of my age, I guess. But I was invited to one Today, by the grandma of The baby-to-come. The gifts will help to Prepare for the little One. But how can a mom Prepare for nights with No sleep, And for a heart that breaks When her child's heart Breaks, Or for the worry when Her teenager's not yet Home at 2:00 A.M.? She can't prepare. So it's better that she not Know. As she treasures this Baby, Lord, Your precious, Priceless gift, Give her wisdom to teach Her and lead her to You. Help this forever-after mom To bravely bear the heartache That accompanies the joy. And Lord, thank You, Thank You, that I'm an old mom, And this shower is for RuBi And not for me. |
