A Child's Blessings,
by Shanna Casinger 10/26/10

Count your blessings one by one.
Count the stars the m00n the sun.
Count your children's hug and kiss,
for these are what you're bound to miss.

C0unt their fingers & their t0es,
a pair of eyes and a protruding nose.
A tearful sigh, a burstin' laugh,
rubber ducks in a bubble bath.

Read a b00k, sing a s0ng.
H0ld them cl0se the wh0le night l0ng.
Let them s0b, let them squiggle-
let them snuggle in the middle.

Let them gr0w-
let them dream.
Mean what you say and
say what y0u mean.

Say u l0ve them everyday,
f0r t00 s00n they'll gr0w and g0 away.
Say y0u're pr0ud 0f what they d0
'cause their main r0le m0del sh0uld be Y0U!
