Daughter
by Darlene Johnson
I remember the doctors saying to me
a child is something thats not meant to be
Then God showed his grace and all of his love
and gave me a girl from the heavens above
I remember the first time I looked at her face
my arms wrapped around her in a loving embrace
I remember the thoughts that ran through my mind
Thank you dear Lord for being so kind
All the joy my daughter has given to me
I knew in my heart, she was meant to be
I remember the doctors saying to me
your daughter has cancer, a kind we rarely see
Shes way to young to have this again I was told
it happens to most people when they are old
Did God give her to me, only to die?
crying and screaming oh god oh why!
all the tears in my eyes, they slowly fell down
I cried no Lord, as I fell to the ground
I was angry at God for all of those days
But God, he works in mysterious ways
He was molding my child, for his future plans
we just couldnt see, footprints in the sand
The light that he shined in her heart and her mind
was the door opening up, for now shes not blind
I remember the doctors saying to me
a grandchild is coming, it was all meant to be!
