~Help Me Grow~  mommy, why do birds fly high if birds can fly then why can't I and why must I be tucked in tight while raccoons get to play all night mommy, what makes stars shine bright the angels must have flashlights...right and what makes the moon run from the sun doesn't he think that the sun is much fun mommy, how can fish live there under the water without any air and how do bees make honey sweet and how do they give it to us to eat mommy, who makes the flowers grow there's so much that I want to know like who makes trees grow big and tall when I'm not big and tall at all mommy, where does Jesus stay that He can hear me when I pray He must be close...I feel him near each time I whisper in His ear mommy, tell me everything my questions may be tiring but you have much to teach, I know I'm glad you're here to help me grow ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his |

This reads as sweet as the love of a mother should be and you share it well. The rhyme is excellent and the cadence is a hit. Well done for sure. |

Vicky, this reminds me of my own sweet daughters growing up. The eternal questions used to bug me but now sometimes I wish they were still that young and asking so much. There is nothing like the complete trust and love from a child. Maeve Take me home to Erin's shores, |

This is so very charming...what every mother hears, and sometimes doesn't have time to jot down - the most interesting of all questions come from the lips of our children.... Thank you for this Vicky....now go out and water your child with happy tears.... |
