Mothers are Poets too!

Well, I don't know about all mothers, but I know that motherhood just seems to bring out the poet in me.  I have never been a great creative writer, and I do not profess to be here.  However, before Evan was a year old, he inspired me to write the following poem which now resides in his scrapbook:

Lying in my arms

With your eyes so big and bright,

I longed to give you love

To comfort you in the darkest night.

You have given me so much

With your innocence and grace,

And I wish to show you how

I cherish your sweet little face.

Every day is a new adventure

Memories we'll treasure forever

The wonderful blessings of life

To show you is my greatest endeavor.

For now, I'll watch you grow

And give thanks to our almighty Lord

For He gave me this beautiful gift

And great is my reward!

And now, I have been inspired again to write a poem to my little Brody to tell him how special he is:

The second son is never second best;

He is loved as much as any of the rest.

Because he brings so much joy

As our special little boy.

From your cute little nose

To your tiny little toes,

You are loved much more

Than the heights eagles soar.

What a gift from above,

Created by love.

We hope you'll always know

How we adore you so.

Life is now as sweet

As your cute little feet,

And we wish to thank our Lord

For you, our precious reward.
