This is a poem I came across yesterday, when going through some old papers. I just love this poem!
Blessed Be Children
Blessed be innocence, smiles from the heart.
Small dimpled fingers that take things apart,
Noses that wrinkle at spinach and such.
Eyes filled with wonder for they see so much.
Blessed be question with no easy answers,
Bubble-bath swimmers and mud-puddled dancers,
Climbers and diggers and builders and bakers,
Dreamers and gigglers and up-at-dawn wakers.
Hearts that are gentle,
Wills that are strong,
Minds learning left from right,
And right from wrong.
Blessed be hugs that wrap round your knees,
Sweet angel voices that sigh, "Once more, Please?"
Blessed be, "Read me a story," and then,
Blessed be each whispered, "Bless me...Amen."
Blessed be sleepy eyes,
With each little yawn...
Blessed be childhood
Before it is gone.

That poem is soooo sweet. Very, very touching too.
I have to remember, when I'm trying to get things done and feel like I'm being interrupted, that this time goes all too fast.

awwww.....LOVE.IT.
so pure and beautiful! I just love rocking the twins sleepy eyes to sleep ...one on each arm...each night. The way their lashes flutter as they drift off...then their arms go limp and they drop their stuffed animals :)
Wow! That's beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
AWESOME!
