She's a Day Care Worker

Children comin' and goin' every day
No time for herself, no time to pray
Driftin' along just goin' through the motions
No adult friends to talk to, just overwhelming emotions

She's a Day Care worker, 
       filled with God's love
Every day she gives them her all
She mothers every child
Some are good and some are wild
All of them need that love she gives
Every little hug, every little kiss

It's a new day and laughter fills the playroom
She quickly runs in to see what's wrong
Almost all at once the children yell "Surprise!"
The Day Care Worker has happy tears in her eyes

She's a Day Care worker, 
       filled with God's love
Every day she gives them her all
She mothers every child
Some are good and some are wild
All of them need that love she gives
Every little hug, every little kiss

The children gleefully give her their creation
The Day Care Worker couldn't hold back her elation
Her tears turn into a huge, joyful smile
As she read the Thank You card, signed by every child

The outside of the card simply read,  "Thank You"
and on the inside it said, "We thank God for you!
"Thank you for all you do.
"Thank you for being you.
"Love, Hugs and Kisses."

She's a Day Care worker, 
       filled with God's love
Every day she gives them her all
She mothers every child
Some are good and some are wild
All of them need that love she gives
Every little hug, every little kiss

She's a Day Care worker, 
       filled with God's love
Every day she gives them her all
She mothers every child
Some are good and some are wild
All of them need that love she gives
Every little hug, every little kiss

Suddenly she felt the urge to dance
And she grabbed a few of their hands
And they danced and they hopped,
        it seemed like it wouldn't stop!
Then they all fell down and laughed and cried
But that day there were joyful tears in their eyes

She's a Day Care worker, 
       filled with God's love
Every day she gives them her all
She mothers every child
Some are good and some are wild
All of them need that love she gives
Every little hug, every little kiss

She thanked them over and over for the wonderful gift
And cherished every little hug..... 
        and every little kiss....

Thank You Jesus.
