A mother prays

I thank you, God, that I have known
 A child's moist hand within my own,
 And that my ears have heard the ring
 Of tuneless songs that children sing.
 I thank you for the warm delight
Of children's nearness in the night,
 And for the unimagined bliss
Of healing heartbreak with a kiss.
