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! started April 2010 re-written 10 26 2010@ 10pm dedicated t0 all 0f recent 0r s00n-t0-be new m0ms in my life. There's a rather large number 0f u this year "Ya have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince... just watch out for all the pond scum!!!" |
