This is Mother's Day week and therefore I am going to post a lovely poem about motherhood from this Wednesday until next Wednesday. I trust you will be blessed.
NIGHT-TIME TREASURES
You pitter-patter to my bed
And laying down your little head,
Quietly whisper in the night,
“I need you, Mommy; hold me tight.”
“Come,” I croon, “I’ll hold you, dear,”
And gently brush away your tear.
Soft hands reach up and stroke my face;
Enclose me in your sweet embrace.
I gently rock you in my arms
Delighting in your baby charms.
Now humming as your lashes close
On cheeks so softly touched with rose.
You drift away to a far-off land
As dreams unfold from God’s dear hand.
This heart of mine is full of love
And thanks for you to God above.
