(I don't think I've posted this one yet..I checked and didn't find it anywhere...     )



Daddy’s Joy nestles in my arms
giving-in to dreams…
A happy little firefly
she opens her eyes once more
and smiles at me behind her thumb--
Her found pacifier
A little giggle, then off to sleep…

In her eyes I find her Daddy’s glee
His uncontrollable, leaping heart
His unconditional love
for this little fire
Looking in her eyes, I find
I love him even more!

She’s off now, to dreamland
As I lay her in her bed, cover her up
and pet her little head
I kiss her and watch her sleep…just for now…
It won’t be long before she’ll be sitting up or
standing at her bed-rail calling “Mama”…
But for now, I enjoy her smile
her laughter
And her Daddy’s Joy reflected in her eyes…

Our little Ember
Our little firefly
Her Daddy’s Joy…

What a joyful, loving, blessedly beautiful post. The photo of Daddy and his little firefly flooded my own heart with warmth.

Your soft and graceful words were those of a proud and loving wife and mother. This was utterly lovely.

God bless you and your family!

Warm hugs,
Linda

dgvarner,
Absolutely touching. Loved the photos
and the beautiful words that sang out from
a mothers soul thru the eyes of a mother
and a father! Tenderly touching and
beautiful! Happy Holidays to you
and yours!
