Before you were conceived, I wanted you
Before you were born, I loved you
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you
This is the miracle of love. - Auth. unknown

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.
~ Louis Pasteur

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
~ Phyllis Diller

All kids are gifted; some just open their packages earlier than others.
~ Michael Carr

Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.
~ John W. Whitehead

Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear…
~ Francis Thompson Shelley

Make a memory with your children,
Spend some time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can’t replace
Those precious moments that you share.
~ E. Hardt

Children are like sponges. They absorb all your strength and leave you limp. But give them a squeeze and you get it all back.

Fingerprints on the wall: They get higher and higher, until they disappear.

In raising my children, I have lost my mind but found my soul.
~ Lisa T. Shepherd

Take a child by the hand and you take a parent by the heart.

Children are like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day

A Child's Angel"

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth today, but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless?"

God said, "My child, from all my many angels, I chose a special one just for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child said, "But God, here in heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, and it makes me happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and smile for you, and you will feel your angel's love, and that will make you happy."

The child said, "And how will I understand when people talk to me, if the language that men talk on Earth?"

God replied, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And God," said the child, "What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray, and I will hear you."

The child said, "I've heard that on earth there are bad people and many evil things. Who will protect me?"

"Your angel will defend you," said God, "Even if it means risking her life. You are more precious than anything to her."

The child said, "But I will always be sad, because I will not see you anymore."

God smiled and said, "Your angel will teach you the way for you to be good and come back to me, and through her you will know that I am always watching over you."

Then they heard voices calling from Earth, and the child knew it was time to go. "God," the child asked softly, "If I am about to leave now, could you please tell me my angel's name, so I will know her?"

And God said, "Your angel's real name is of no importance... You will call your angel: "Mommy"."

use all their senses

On the wings of childhood

little giggles

Baby Bliss

If you could reach
up and hold a star
for every time you've
made me smile
The entire evening sky
would be in the
palm of my hand

soft and sweet

Remember the quiet times

A little piece of heaven

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living,
My baby you'll be

Our mini masterpiece

A baby fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty

You were made perfectly
to be loved-and surely
I have loved you, in the idea of you,
my whole life long

Every child is a different
kind of flower
and all together,
they make this world
a beautiful garden

AWAITING OUT LITTLE BOY

10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes
2 little ears and 2 squishy cheeks
2 little lips and 2 big eyes
1 round little head and 1 cute little nose

Awaiting our little boy
So fresh and so new
Who will take everything in
Always learn something new
A tiny little grin
That will make us cry
Leaving us to wonder
The how but not the why
A precious little creature
So tiny and so small
How wonderful it will be
We will have it all

FOR OUR CHILD

I would like for you to know about hand me down clothes, homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated and that you learn honesty by being cheated.

I hope you learn to make your own bed, mow the lawn and wash the car.

It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it’s all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he’s scared, I hope you let him.

When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag a long, I hope you’ll let him/her.

I hope you have to walk to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don’t ask to be dropped off two blocks away so you won’t be seen riding with someone as un-cool as your mom.

If you want a slingshot; I hope your dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.

Another poem I wrote for Nathan
(Paula)
Everything changed
The day you came into out lives
The sun shone brighter
The sky was bluer
The birds sang louder
The moon shone brighter
What a wonderful world
To wake up with you in it

BY: Momma
For: Nathan
Written: 7/8/05

And yet another one

Having a child
Is one of life’s miracles
In two very distinct ways

You will never know true love
Until you have a child
All the love you have experienced in life
Is magnified a million times over
In the little arms of a child

You will never know utter terror
Until you have a child
All the fear you have experienced in life
Now becomes terror when you heart sinks
Because for a moment you think your child is missing

Smother him with kisses
Hold him close
And cherish every moment

/We hear you have a new addition,
A sweet little gal who is quite a magician,
Transforming each normal adult who sees her
To a comical fool just trying to please her.
She'll wrap you around her little finger,
As around her crib you often linger,
Searching for what can make your hearts twirl--
The adorable smile of your baby girl.
Cherish each moment while she's still small.
Collect sweet memories for later recall.
For when she's grown up and on her own,
You'll wonder where the time has flown.
---
What else could bring you so much joy
As the arrival of your baby boy!
His snuggly charms now capture you;
He's in your thoughts in all you do.
Nothing can fill you so full of glee
As bouncing your little boy on your knee.
His precious antics please mom and dad;
He's a bundle of blessings, this little lad!
His boyish grin enchants everyone;
He's just what you wanted--your boy, your son.
A baby boy is a natural high,
So have lots of fun with your little guy.
---
So your baby is here!
What joy and what pleasure!
Now your life is expanding,
To make room for this treasure.
A darling newcomer
To have and to hold--
Her (His) smiles are more precious
Than silver or gold.
She’ll (He’ll) demolish your schedule
Though she’s helpless and small;
She’ll make her needs known,
And she’ll rule over all.
See, a new parent’s work
Is just never quite done,
But you’ll never mind,
‘Cause it’s all so much fun.
When you hear her cute giggle
You’ll start "aahing" and "oohing,"
And she’ll soon reply back
By "ga ga" and "goo gooing."
Those big innocent eyes
See a world strange and new;
To make sense of it all
She’ll look only to you.
So cherish this time
Of miraculous things--
The excitement and wonder
That a new baby brings.
---
Today I kissed an angel
I knew it from the start
The first time my angel smiled at me
I gave away my heart
---
A baby is a gift of life
born of 'the wonder of love',
A little bit of eternity
sent from the father above,
Giving a new dimension
to the love between husband and wife
And putting an added new meaning
to the wonder and mystery of life.
---
Close your eyes, little angel of mine
And I'll whisper to you a sweet lullabye...

You are surrounded by guardian angels unseen,
Keeping you safe while you drift off to dream
As I hold you close, wrapped up in my love,
So does our Saviour, who reigns up above
From you, my sweet angel, He shall never part
And with His great love He will comfort your heart
So close your eyes, little angel of mine
And peaceful sleep you will surely find
For God's shining His light to show you the way
Through the field of dreams in which you will play.
---
Look at your bright blue eyes,
they always shine at me.
With everything you look at
and everything you see.

Youre always so curious,
because everythings so new.
an instant glimpse of beauty
each time I look at you.

Your features are so perfect
your eyes, your ears, and nose.
All your little features....
your fingers and your toes!

You used to be so tiny,
its amazing how youve grown.
From tiny teeth to changing eyes,
then walking on your own.

Youre my perfect gift of life...
that God has sent to me.
I'll cherish each and everyday
Love you always............ your Mommy!
---
My precious little baby
I have loved you from the start
You are a tiny miracle
Laying closely to my heart.

Each day I feel your presence
Each day you quickly grow
Each day your heart beats softly
As only I could know.

So I'll keep this in a special place
And remember each year through
Of this very special time of life
The months I carried you.
---
Sweet baby!
An angel sent from the start,
A kiss blown from heaven,
And caught by my heart!
---
My little hands play patty-cake
they peek-a-boo and wave...
They catch me while I learn to walk
and splash me as I bathe.

My little hands reach up to you
for

before I sleep...
And fold together when I pray
the Lord my soul to keep.

My little hands are tiny now
but yours will serve to guide me...
And when I'm grown I'll still reach out
and know you're right beside me.
---
One plus one is two
and that's the both of you.

Twice as much to love,
two blessings from above.

Two precious lives to mold,
two little hands to safely hold.

God touched our hearts
so deep inside,
our special blessing
multiplied.

Twins
There are two to wash,
two to dry.
Two who argue and two who cry.
One's in the mud, having a ball,
With a crayon, the other
is marking the wall.
Some days seem endless,
My patience grows thin,
Why was I chosen to be the mother of twins?
The answer comes clear at the end of the day,
As I tuck them in bed and to myself say-
"There's two to kiss and two to hug,
And best of all there's two to love!"
---
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.

As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.

I'd of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC's.

I thought of things you'd want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.

When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.

Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes,
I memorize you eyes and nose.

I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper "I Love You" every night.

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journey's begun,
My heart's yours forever little one.

When you have a little babt boy
you`re set for years
of love and joy,
Rattles,blocks, and little cars,
Trees to climb
and bugs in jars,
Boks to read and
bikes to ride,
A secet place to hide,
A world of things
to see and do--
So many good times
wait for you!
---
Baby boys come in all shapes and sizes,
Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,
With mishapen halos and mischievous grins,
Small dirty faces, and sweet, sticky chins.
They'll keep you so busy, and yet all the while
Nothing can brighten the world like their smile.
And no greater treasure has brought homes more joy
Than a curious, active, and lovable boy!
---
Two babies crying,
Four arms reaching above,
Twins are twice the work,
But also twice the love.

Two babies smiling,
Little voices giggling with glee,
Tiny hands holding each other's,
And then reaching for me.

The year gone too fast,
As your babyhoods fall behind
We are so blessed to have you,
Little angels that are mine.
---
God sent to us a perfect angel, his eyes are bright and blue
his smile shines like heaven's light, when he looks up at you
his loving nature warms the soul, and fills all hearts with joy
each day I thank the Lord above, for our perfect little boy
