You didn't even know me,
We may never meet again
You will never know what
You brought to me back then,
I stood outside the doctors
Tears and sorrow in my eyes
A little boy was screaming
I held him in my arms,
But I was hurting too,
People were staring and pointing,
I heard their whispers
Disturbed by my tears,
They didn't know
How could they know
The torment I felt that day.
They looked at my wounds
Then blamed my boy,
Why doesn't she smack him
If only he was mine…
a spoilt little boy
They didn't know
How could they know
The guilt I carried for him.
My little girl came running,
The doctors called your name,
You missed it while my brother
Was naughty once again
Take me home I've had enough
Can't you see my pain.
She didn't know
How could she know
How much I wanted to hold her
And take her hurt away
Then you walked slowly over
You smiled at me and said
Let me carry him for a while
Let me hold him for you today
Your smile was one of compassion
No judgement in your voice
You seemed to understand me
You seemed to care about him
For that brief moment in time.
Never forget that sometimes
And you may never know
A kind word and a smile
A gesture that comes from heaven
A brief moment in time
May be held in someone's memory
For a lifelong moment in time
So offer to carry a burden
No matter what the cost
Cause that’s what Jesus did
When he was nailed to the Cross

Can Kookaburras Catch The Moon
Can Kookaburras catch the moon?
I looked at my boy's scared eyes
And said never
Can Koalas climb the tallest trees?
I looked at my girl's sad eyes
And said maybe
Are eagles wings soft and warm
I looked at my boy's searching eyes
And said I hope so
Do roses bloom in the spring
I looked at my girl's questioning eyes
And said sometimes
Why do children laugh?
I looked at their opening eyes
And said they can
Can flowers grow in the desert?
I looked at our healing eyes
And said always
