Psonnets of Friendship
Song to a Saved Child

I did not want to let you live, not I.
Christ Jesus, O my daughter, O my son,
so changed my heart from what I wanted done
because I saw your face and heard your cry
with visions which I did not want to die,
and now you are my precious little one,
God's gift and Godsend which I cannot shun,
my heart, my soul, the apple of my eye.
What joy and sorrow might I never know
had I done what now seems unspeakable,
and as I hear you babble, watch you grow,
and feel my heart so feel a love so full,
I thank Christ Jesus that I did not go
and let you go. I would have been a fool.
