During this busy, fun, memorable time...I think it can be easy to not remember to cherish the moments.
So to kick off our BEST OF for this week, we are starting with a poem that has been featured on our blog twice and is in our newsletter every month.
I still need reminded to cherish the moments and I am thankful for the author of this poem and for the friend who's bathroom I first read it in.

A Mother's Prayer Poem
I originally saw this poem framed and hanging in a dear friend's bathroom back in October. She did not realize that I copied it (via my cell phone)
and placed it on our blog.
Today she emailed it to me...and today I needed it.
I wanted to share it will all of you again.

A Mother's Prayer
Oh give me patience when tiny hands
Tug at me with their small demands.
And give me gentle & smiling eyes;
Keep my lips from sharp replies.
And let not fatigue, confusion or noise
Obscure my vision of life's fleeting joys
.So when years later and my house is still-No bitter memories its room may fill.

From that friend...thanks, AGAIN, for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteOne day our homes will be quiet and still. (some days that seems impossible, doesn't it?)
Will we look back with no-regrets? I pray so!
