Love Poem.

These are the gifts 

that have been given to me.

Tiny in nature 

but precious, you see.

They hold the key 

to my changing heart.

Building me up

not falling apart.

 Their lives are ignited

by greatness and love.

They are like precious stones

sent from above.

Never for granted

I take these days.

I adore each moment

ever passing in haze.

 They hold so much wonder,

such simple delight.

Looking with questions

I pray I get right.

I beg God for mercy,

plead for His grace.

Lord, please let me teach them

and show them your ways.

 These moments are passing

so quickly, so swift.

I breathe them in deeply;

they are such a gift.

Children with wonder

and smiles so bright

Make my heart heavy

to just get this right.

Raising these children-

whether yours or mine

Is my greatest adventure,

my moment in time.

I pray for each daily,

it is my joy to bear.

I want to grow wisely,

each child with care.

 Look at their eyes,

be patient and know.

They are growing in goodness

some fast; some slow.

But each with a purpose

and each with a plan

Each will know Jesus

I know that will stand.

Beside them each day

and praying all night.

It is by His mercy 

and not by my might.

They will remember 

and thank me someday.

For loving them fiercely 

and guiding their way.
