A Special Place...

This poem really touched me as so many times in my life I've questioned where and what I'm to be doing. It's only been recently that I'm positive my calling is to be the best wife and mother I can possibly be. I have always tried but I figured because I haven't had a "paying" job for years that I wasn't contributing. (my husband has never pressured me at all to get a job, he's happy knowing I'm home) I know without a doubt my true calling now is with my husband and children and making my home a haven for all of us.

A Special Place
There is a special place in life,
That needs my humble skill,
A certain job I'm meant to do,
Which no one else can fulfill.

The time will be demanding,
And the pay is not too good
And yet I wouldn't change it
for a moment -- even if I could

There is a special place in life,
A goal I must attain,
A dream that I must follow,
Because I won't be back again.

There is a mark that I must leave,
However small it seems to be,
A legacy of love for those
Who follow after me

There is a special place in life,
That only I may share,
A little path that bears my name,
Awaiting me somewhere.

There is a hand that I must hold,
A word that I must say,
A smile that I must give
For there are tears to blow away.

There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill.
A sunny spot where flowers grow,
upon a windy hill.

There's always a tomorrow and the
best is yet to be,
And somewhere in this world,
I know there is a place for me.
