Hello, Bloggers!
Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there.
Being a mom is a wonderful and challenging job. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, but there are definitely times when I can identify with the lady in the Calgon commercial! "Calgon, take me away!"
In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I would share one of my favorite poems. I found this little plaque at a garage sale many years ago. I only paid 25 cents for it, but it is one of my most valued "treasures" in my home. I read it whenever I am "out of sorts" about how to handle the latest "phase" Daniel is going through (ha). It goes like this:
Oh give me patience
When wee hands
Tug at me
With their small demands
And give me gentle
And smiling eyes
Keep my lips
From hasty replies
And let not weariness,
Confusion, or noise
Obscure my vision
Of life's fleeting joys
So when, in years to come
My house is still
No bitter memories
It's room may fill
I just Love that!
Love,
Diane
