Cherished Wish

The sun is nature, warmth & light
Giving life & hope & might
And though it may be far away
Will touch the child with every ray

The heart is nurture, love & grace
Lives for each smile upon your face
Teaches what you need to know
Makes you laugh & helps you grow

For one, a wish that runs so deep
Their child-- a home to safely keep
Another's wish so true & bold
A child to love & teach & hold

The star-- the wish of the two
Heaven makes them both come true
In both ways merciful & mild
Their star -- the cherished wish --the
child
