I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.

Not Flesh of My Flesh

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.

Child's Name

You're a chosen child
You're ours, but not by birth
But just the same, we feel
You're the greatest child on earth

You're a chosen child
Sent down from God above
Chosen to fill our home
With laughter and with love

You're a chosen child
You've given us so much pleasure
Chosen above the rest
A precious, priceless treasure.
