This is a poem I wrote a while back, might as well put it in the blog 🙂 Kids are growing so much and so fast, I want to cherish these moments forever and appreciate present day in the process!
Conversations With My Children
By: Debra Sue Higginbotham
a.k.a. Healthy Habit Lady
I told my baby, how very much he had grown …
how big he was getting – every inch – every bone.
I asked who gave permission, for him to grow his Bod,
and without hesitation – he assured me it was GOD!
My toddler asked me, in a soft exhausted voice…
“will you love me forever” – (as if I had a choice.)
“YES, my son!”, I said, without hesitation or delay,
“I will always love you – forever and a day!”
My daughter said to me, in excitement and glee …
“Look at me mommy” – “I can climb a tree” – –
and I said to her, without hesitation or a stir …
“I knew you could honey, I was always quite sure!”
My baby, who is 2, wants to tie his own shoe …
he refuses my help – so what’s a mom to do – –
I say to my child, without hesitation or doubt,
“I will wait for you, so let’s figure it all out!”
My toddler, who is 3, squeals with delight …
and asks for a kiss – as I tuck him in at night.
Without hesitation – I give him three or four,
and ask if it’s okay, if I give him just one more.
My girl, who is 10, asks hard questions now and then,
Like “why is there evil?”, and “why do people sin?”
I hesitate a bit – as I am not so sure what to say…
and so thus I reply … “honey, why don’t we pray?”
(FYI, these here are true stories)
As always, make champion choices,
