Sweet Poem

I was feeling a little down tonight when I came across this beautiful poem and it made me realize just how blessed I am to have a healthy and amazing baby boy who is truly the light of my life. Walker has shown me the true meaning of love and for that I will be forever thankful. It is impossible to understand the love a mother has for her child until you become a mother and experience that love first hand. I am so thankful to my husband and my son for allowing me to experience this love.

Small Blessings

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called on me to be a mom
Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose
Getting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last week's mail to read
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute, Lord
Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of Your grace
I seen then, in my small one's face
That you have blessed me
All the while
And I stop to kiss
That precious smile.
