Treasures of the Heart

I tiptoe past the bedrooms

And try to hold my breath

When suddenly a shadow

Scares me half to death

It's just a little angel

Appearing in the hall

So much for time alone, she's more

Important after all.

Sometimes I'm such a failure

As a mother and a wife

I often get impatient

And frustrated with my life

I don't live in a mansion

My clothes are not so fine

But I can live without them

As long as these are mine.

Little cherub kisses,

'Mommy, I love you!'

Snuggles in the morning

And look what I can do

May every precious moment

Forever leave its mark

I'll never take for granted

These treasures of my heart.~Linda Long

So some things ever touch your heart more than others? A story you hear, a poem you've read, a passing thought, a comment someone may make. For me, when I come across something that strikes me I like to write it down. And by doing so it oftimes becomes written on my heart popping into my mind at times when I need to remember it most. This is one of those 'things' that I was touched by.
