14 niños running around all day
With sweat and dirt and just wanting to play
Looking for motherly love or even just hug
The babies fit in your arms, all nice and snug
Sitting here looking at them,
Wishing I could make things better.
When the only thing I can really do,
Is letting them know they matter.
Being filled up with love that can only come from the Father
And giving it out to each of his sons and daughters.
Mercy is her name
And she knows how to play the game.
Taking care of her brother at only eight
She knows how to see the world straight.
Diego, Moses, and Alejandro
Are the three older bros
I pray that you love
And learn not to shove
Dariel and Christopher
You are next in line,
So please be ready to shine.
They like to say no,
It seems to just flow.
They seem shy at first
Until laughter seems to burst.
Elisa and Katherin,
Look at me with grin
Two little princesas,
With so much belleza
They are filled with so much sass
Yet they have a heart of class.
Jafeth is a little champion
He will even be your little companion.
Holds your hand while you walk,
If only he would talk
Caralina, Amy, Dulce
Diapers, bottles, and giggles galore
These 3 girls make you want to hit the dance floor.
Their smiles shine so bright,
Whatever you do don’t give them a fright.
Ivania and Erika,
They will capture your heart with just a look,
Sit with them and read a book.
Two precious sweetie pies
I promise it’s not a lie
They bring so much joy to the day
You won’t want to turn away.
Playing, laughing, and screaming,
Sunset is nearing
Bedtime is here,
And we tell them not fear
Tomorrow is another day
For us to go out and play.
While wiping messy faces,
I’m realizing,
This is one of my favorite places.
The time is getting close,
I don’t want this month to end,
But I know it’s around the bend.
Honduras you were real,
And make me not want to feel.
I will cherish every moment,
And keep the encouragement.
I thank God for the time I sacrificed,
And Him bringing me to Heart of Christ.
