If I Had To Search the Whole World Over

If I had to search the whole world over, I could never find two children that I love more. So full of energy, so full of life, so full of talent, in spite of the hardships uninvited that they have had to endure. For they are mine. God gives us a special patience for those we call our own. Nothing is too hard. Nothing is too much. Nothing is a bother. For they are mine. God given, God-granted. Special and unique, sweet and sassy, one of each, one boy, one girl. One time in life to enjoy all that they are. One time to lose them to others, to school, to circumstances unforeseen and beyond all of your human control. For they are mine. Mine to love, close and from a distance. Mine to keep, close to my heart. Mine to pray and seek God's face for. Mine to weep over. Mine to rejoice for. If I had to search the whole world over, I would choose this boy, this girl. For they are mine.
