“This night with the lights turned low except for a corner lamp aglow,
Has coaxed the clamor into calm, my soul in need of this soothing balm.
Clean-smelling babies and soft, tan skin, snuggle up in my lap again.
I hold tightly to a 4-year-old, I feel her and me becoming old
Too soon. Â But this is now, and while I’m here I’ll make it count.
I’ll look and listen, learn and love, ask forgiveness, kiss and hug.
And on the days I want to give up–I won’t.
My God has called me to a task and there is just one thing He asks…
“Love all of ME with all of you and teach those children to love me too.”
So sweet!
Beautiful, Kelly 🙂

Adorable picture! She looks about a year old. My younger son was about a week from turning one at the time that picture was taken, I see. Did we both have a baby on the same day somewhere back in history? 😉
Well, it’s an odd thing. The date on that picture is wrong, actually. Mallie was born March 6th, 2006. 😀
Oh, funny. My first guess was that that was Mallie, but then I saw the date and figured maybe Avi (who I think is very close in age to my boy) once looked like Mallie before Mallie was. 🙂
I didn’t think of the date possibly being wrong, but I should have, as I kind of questioned the time stamp — 2:50 a.m.?!! 😛
