This weekend my oldest will be 6 and my youngest will be 2. I probably will be doing a lot of reflecting on my kids this week. To start out the week, I wanted to share a poem I wrote last year for all of them.
"I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content." ~ Walt Whitman
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." ~ The Dalai Lama
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." ~ Native American Proverb
"DANCE as though no one is watching you, LOVE as though you have never been hurt before, SING as though no one can hear you, LIVE as though heaven is on Earth." ~ Souza
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." ~ Maya_Angelou
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." ~ Elie Wiesel

My "babies" are 20, 17 and 14 and I still watch them sleeping as often as I can! When they were little, I did it every night and I had would plant a kiss on their foreheads and I a little goodnight saying for each of them. No matter what kind of day they've had, when you see them sleeping, you can't help but forgive them. Then they are all angels.

How beautiful! And how great that "Danny's Song" was playing while I read. My baby is turning five in a few weeks and I'm so teary eyed lately! My baby is getting her first loose tooth! Time is a funny thing. Goes by so slow and then so very fast!
Thats lovely. I know how you feel, my oldest just turned 5 this past week... it does go too fast... every moment with them is a joy.
