A poem I wrote for my children when they were very young. |
You were all such lovely Precious little people Mama ached to hold you Holding you was good Needs united into one Self sacrifice So simple coming more With maturity I gave myself to you You gave your best to me I pray for all of you In earnest and with love Pray that God will lead me Down this road of motherhood I pray for strength For patience that I lack For guidance and the willpower To discipline For oversight of reason Cause I'm being teased You see the kool-aid In the sugar bowl Means more than gold To me You are all your own persons Reflecting only part of me Lovely lively children With wisdom beyond your years Let not your anxieties Betray you Stand firm Your fight with fear Your father beams With glory When you come to him My dears Know yourselves Like yourselves Share your likes Be proud of who you are Most importantly Be who you are Remember God He made you all He loves you Even more than Mama can So walk with God Love your lives With Him Be at ease You're young in years These are your Mama's pleas ** Image ID #1463846 Unavailable ** This was written over thirty years ago for my five very young children. |
