It is for a little girl they've adopted.

This is probably too long, but I thought I'd share it anyway:
"Some Would Gather Money"
Some would gather money
Along the path of life,
Some would gather roses,
And rest from worldly strife.
But we would gather children
With gladness bring them in.
We would seek bright, sparkling eyes,
And a carefree, toothless grin.
For money cannot enter
In the land of endless day.
And the roses that are gathered,
Soon will wilt and fade away.
But oh, the laughing children,
As we cross the sunset sea.
And the gates swing wide to heaven
They are our eternal legacy!
