Look Mommy!  'Look mommy I wrote my name!' My girl said with glee 'I even got the sizes right Aren't you proud of me?' 'That's great dear I'm so proud' And then I turned to see The spot where she had written her name Oh why does this happen to me? The wall was the place Just in front of the door How will I clean it? Oh what a chore! 'Why did you do this?' I asked her in anger Her smile turned to fright As if there were danger 'Just want to be big' Was all she could say 'I'm sorry mommy Don't be mad, 'kay?' I stopped and thought hard I knew what to do Say a prayer for me And one for her too Then we'll clean up the wall Or keep it the same For that was my little girl Writing her name Cpalmer Thanks to Vicky for helping with the graphic! I couldn't have done it without you! God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears Cpalmer [This message has been edited by cpalmer (edited 08-14-2001).] |

Cindi~ Oh .... this is just so precious~ What a loving, patient mommy you are~ Put a frame around it and treasure it !  We kept a 'memory-wall' in our family home when the children were young~ They were encouraged to do their little 'art' works and precious pennings on that wall- Our youngest son now owns the family home - and he wouldn't think of replacing that wall~ We all still get 'misty-eyed' exploring it~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

cpalmer, I can see that little face as you got upset and I know the feelings well! I have a way of "shooting my mouth off" before I stop and think. That little face will haunt you for a long time. The memory wall sounds like a great idea. Wish I had done that. Love the picture and the poem. You will never let this happen to you again. You are beautiful as all mom's are. ME |

LOL..have been there ... the crazy thing is, today is the first day both my children have been in school, and though you poem was light and suppose to be fun, I found myself wiping tears-- insanely missing the colored walls and the sweet baby talk of "Kay" instead of okay. Enjoy the moments that make you want to pull out your hair, they disappear so quickly with the years. Miranda oh, and a cleaning hint... hehe. crayon comes off with wd-40 inkpen with hairspray... It seems I have alot of extra laying around I will not be needing any longer... maybe I should send it to you... haha |
