Love Magnifies

Love flows from mother to daughter
Until the daughter has a child
Love is fantastically magnified
Each heart becomes reconciled.

Remembering when I carried her
My daughter now lovely, mature
But her child is incredible
More love I could not endure.

This little girl, a gift from God
My mind cannot conceive
How love fantastically magnified
Impossible, yet I do believe.

I pray to see the amazing day
When I have grown quite old
And this child marries her true love
Then once more the story is told.

A young woman begins a miracle
In her body a new life will grow
Love is fantastically magnified
I tell my daughter what I know.

That all of the love inside her
She gives to the child she bore
Oh love magnifies, love magnifies
But amazingly there is more.

Our God, the perfect example
Of a love that was tried and true
He magnified it on the Cross
Then He gave it all to you.
