This is a picture of part of one of the Mother's Quilts. It isn't a very good picture, but the workmanship of the squares and the quilt itself is beautiful!
Hopefully soon, the song itself will be playing on this page.
MY PRECIOUS ONE
Squares with names written on white cotton, as soft as the
clouds above.
Heart of hearts and bearing roses with a mother's sweet
message of love.
Bound together with the color of the Blood of Heaven's
forgiving Son,
To form a quilt handmade by mothers who sorrow for their
precious ones.
CHORUS; Oh my precious, my precious little one, I'm so sorry,
forgive me now, I know just what was done. And though Heaven's arms now hold you, someday I'll hold you to. You're my child and I love.. you're my
precious little one.
Every name so carefully chosen to show the world you were real.
Yes, there's Mary and Katie, Michael and Joshua... were your eyes as blue
as steel?
Would you have made a doctor, or a teacher, oh I wonder just what you
would have been.
Oh my child, please know your mothers' still crying for her precious one. Written by Eve Ray
