Children. A Blessing, So . . .
So children are declared in God’s word,
As you know, to be a “blessing.”
And you think otherwise; is that not so?
So, are you saying that you don’t want
That which God says is a good thing?!?
Have you some knowledge above His,
Such that you think more accurately
About the nature of true beneficence?
(O may your contemplation make some sense;
Tell us, please, of your wit’s wisdom!
What is a blessing and what just dumb?
What is to be last and what first?
And what would YOU call a curse?
Is barrenness now a desire of your heart?
Have you a truly anti-reproductive bent?)
Ah, yes, there is that choice to pick: which
Of those blessings to receive or ditch?
(Uh ha! Well, that may make some sense – or not.)
Would you say “No!” to good heath
Or to some travel and lots of wealth?
So . . . what is it about kids you don’t want?
He says they’re a blessing, so you best believe it!
That labor that God, Himself, embraces
Is given for you no matter what your case is.
(Remember that Six-Day work thing He started
And respected right to the day He departed?
And He left His commands for us to follow,
Which, when we obey, keep us from sorrow!)
