Hillary in KS Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've tried googling over and over and come up with nothing. I remember reading a poem years ago, written from the perspective of a parent. It was about 4 stanzas, and expressed how the author loved watching her little boy read his Bible, and the importance of him learning that love from his parents' examples. The title was something simple, like "A Boy and His Bible" Does this ring any bells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedmom5k Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 This is probably not it but I found it searching for yours, I thought it was beautiful: Tribute to My Parent's Love I learned so much about life From you, dear Mom and Dad But I learned even more about love And for that I'm very glad You came to know the Savior When I was still a teen Your lives took on new meaning No more that same 'ole routine Now at seventeen I was hard to surprise But you started changing before my eyes So I sat, I watched, I wondered There must be something to this Mom and Dad act like newlyweds Basking in wedded bliss And now they go to prayer meeting Then they go to church Later they read their Bibles Like some treasure hunting search Hmmm. This is all quite interesting indeed Maybe it's just the thing I need? So I followed to prayer meeting And then I followed them to church And before long, you know what happened? I was on my own Bible search They didn't have to force me Not even twist my arm For their genuine transformation Already had me charmed They taught me about love by loving each other An example to me and my sisters and brother So I found life's fulfillment in Jesus The Lover of my soul, and Friend And I have Mom and Dad to thank for this But that is not the end Through life's joys and the trials Over the course of their long life We have all seen their godly example Of a loving husband and adoring wife Now I'm married to the most wonderful man Together we're delighting in God's special plan And each of my siblings enjoy this too A union of spirit, body and soul A love eternal, a life complete Together made one, through Jesus made whole We've learned from loving parents The things that matter from above Dear Mom and Dad you've shown us The greatest gift, our Savior's love -- Mary Fairchild i'll keep looking!

Hillary in KS Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Jess in OK!!! I'm glad you posted your old name, as I'd never have connected you to BlessedMom5k otherwise. Thanks for the poem! It's not the one I remember, but it's a good one! I'm going to save it. Thanks! Hillary :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedmom5k Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey there. OK, I'm obsessive and HATE not being able to find things but I can't find a single thing either. I hope someone does! I've read a LOT of touching poetry though tonight thanks to you, thanks for that. lol There is a site that has a specific parent/child Christian poem page but nothing like the poem you described. Do you remember if it was in a book or magazine? What year? It's going to bug me all night. LOL Sorry I couldn't help, sounds like a great one!

Hillary in KS Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 LOL! Glad you've gotten to fill your poetry cup! :) I read it at a baby shower, years ago. The woman who gave it to the new mom doesn't remember where she found it. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
