My Special Girls

What is the quickest way to see my heart?
Just ask about my girls who take up a huge part.
First there was only one so many years ago,
When I was busy with my life being tossed to and fro.
Five years later there came number two,
And all I had was hearing about you.
I was out there busy living my life and growing up,
It was rare that we would partake of the same cup.
There were visits every couple of years,
Not near enough, I think back through tears.
Then came the day I had almost settled down,
I called up your mother, I wanted you to come to town.
We three had a week in which to share,
And I realized how much I really do care.
We got to do this for a few years, but not for long,
For by then you were growing up and growing strong.
I was so limited by schedules and money and such things,
But I love every moment when I am with you, and what that brings.
There has been a high school graduation and a wedding too,
And the little one grown up now with hair that is blue.
My heart jumps for joy each time I hear your voices,
And I would spend more time with each of you if I had my choices.
And now there is a new little one, she makes three,
They are very special girls to me.
My life would be dim and without much light,
If I didn't have them to think about on a long winter night.
God has blessed me with these girls in my life,
Knowing I would be a mother or a wife.
Instead I have the best things He could give.
My three girls and a wonderful life to live.
