This is a special poem written for the blog today in honor of my sweet little baby passing the 18 month marker. (I’ve also added my favorite pictures of her from the past months…) What a blessing that the Lord chose to add her to our family! I think every mom who reads this can appreciate my sentiments! ; )
18 Months…
Is it really possible,
the time has come and gone?
It seems like only yesterday
we brought our baby home.
One of our three, it is not new
how the time has flown right past.
Still, in the end I can not tell
how to make each moment last.
Her sparkly eyes, sweet little voice
tiny hand in mine divine,
will only be a memory
to cherish in my mind.
So soon she’ll be a little girl,
not long after a young belle.
The moments one by one I’ll recount.
I’ve memorized them well.
For now I count the blessings,
like the soft curls upon her head,
thankful to our Heavenly Father
She now sleeps all night in her own bed.
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127: 3
