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.

Very sweet.
By the way, I was stalking your twin labels. Always wished for twins.
Now I am wondering if we are all done. Twins would be a nice way to wrap things up! Or one. Or....
Just contentment.
