Two Months with Alexis Nicole

Labor Of My Heart



I would have given anything
to be the one to know
the pain of bringing
you into this world
but it couldn't be...



Though I did not bring
you here still
I labored in my tears
through the long nights
I prayed
you would come to me...



You are the labor of
my heart with all
my strength I prayed
till they laid you in
my arms Child,
you are the labor
of my heart....




Blessed be the maker
of bone of other bone.
He made flesh of my desire
and today
I take you home...




You are the labor
of my heart Child,
you are the labor
of my heart with all
my strength I prayed
till they laid you in
my arms Child,




you are the labor
of my heart Child,
you are the labor
of my heart...
