MY LITTLE MEN


Sometimes,
I look at these four little boys of mine,
sitting around the dinner table,
or jumping on the furniture,
or in the shower with shampoo mohawks.

And I realize that, someday,
these little boys will be:
fathers
husbands
employees
neighbors

I am overwhelmed.
By the task,
and by my love for them.

I remind myself (again) to
pray more
and get on Facebook less.

  2. Amen to that! No wonder God has us live one appreciated day at a time, right?

  3. Now you're a poet; the talent never ends! Very sweet photo. I love those little guys, too. I look at my big men now and wonder where the little boys are...hiding in there somewhere. One of those bittersweet things of life.

  6. Yes. The Lord will print some of those precious moments in your heart and when they are older and ever more precious, you'll still feel all the magic of motherhood, very rich. So sweet.

  8. yes indeed....my first baby turns 18 in a couple of weeks and the reality that he will *soon* (relatively) be someone's husband and father has me shaking in my boots! take your time and do it well, you won't regret the time spent.
