"Children are God's blessing,
given out of love_
Delightful little treasures,
sent from up above." ~MASH~
" Little Handprints"
Little handprints on my walls, left there by children, oh so small.
There was a day when I would fret, clean them off and then forget. Now I touch them in my mind, Wishing that just one of them I'd find.
They are all so long since gone away_ Their children now with finger paint do play.
I see them everywhere I look_ I see their mother and read her like a book. I long to tell her "leave them there" for one day you'll remember the memories you share. then you'll wish you didn't care. I hold my tongue as mothers must do_
for raising your children and keeping your home is all up to you. When they come to Grandma's house and make a really big mess_
all I can say is "Oh God, how I am truly blessed."
