Children are a blessing. They are a happiness so sharp that it feels like pain.

About This Quote

When you have a child, you will forever be changed. If you live long enough, you will have seen it all. You will have seen the miracle of birth, the beauty of growth, the power of love. You will have witnessed their first smiles and fears.

You will have felt joy at their first steps and pride when they master something new. You will have seen them grow up to become young men, women, even great men. But no matter what has happened so far, there are always more miracles to be had.

They are a blessing. They are a happiness that feels like pain.
