How I Love You, Little Tot






How I love you, little tot
Helpful to the point of not
Laden with the best of cares
Trucks, books, dolls and teddy-bears

How I love you, little child
Driving joy and patience wild
My, but you are small and smart
Darling, trusting, pure in heart

How I love you, little one
With each rise and set of sun
You follow with run and play
Every child of Yesterday

How I love you, precious dear
You’ll grow up too soon, I fear
Gracious Lord, please hear my prayers
Hold my hand as I hold theirs

Her Only Request...



Brantley (grandson) is a very social boy...
though he may give you a pretty serious look when he first meets you😐
This morning he was not interested in playing by himself
so while I did a little tidying he played with a new friend who did everything he did!

(oh, this reminds me; I think I have a mirror that needs polishing!)



Oh, what privileged place of esteem
Oh, what a beautiful war
Caught in the cross-fire twixt Duty and Dream
Learning to love more and more

This is the role of a mother and wife
Not much reward does she ask
But lingering moments to savor the life
With those at the heart of each task
