One Moment In Time by Patricia Blake If I could go back For one moment in time, And hold you in my arms And make you mine. I can’t tell you how much It would mean to me, But I would shout it from the rooftops For the world to see, This is my son In whom I’m well pleased Thank you dear Lord For giving him to me ! If I could go back For one moment in time, To hear your first cry And know that you’re mine, I can’t tell you how special That would make me feel. But I would tell the whole world He’s my son - too precious to be real. This is my son In whom I’m well pleased Thank you dear Lord For giving him to me ! If I could go back For one moment in time, To play with you in the sun It would be so sublime, To teach you to talk And tell you stories so real, To teach you to walk You don’t know how blessed I would feel. This is my son In whom I’m well pleased Thank you dear Lord For giving him to me ! But time has passed on I must look ahead somehow, I’m just so very thankful That you have found me now, There are no words to tell you How much you mean to me, But I can tell you one thing I hope you can see. You are my son In whom I’m well pleased And I thank the Lord For bringing you to me ! Poem written for James after our first meeting, December 27, 1995 Love, Mom Back to Patricia's Writings |
