Life staying simple each day
Small children learning, God’s way
Like a skilled potter’s clay
Growing up in amazing ways
Lives filling with unique freshness
Creating moments of tender newness
Parents providing support and love
Following God’s example, from above
God watching His only Son
Caring for His little One
Pure gentleness touching with kindness
Lighting the way with fondness
Each moment charging with adventure
Experiencing delightful walks with nature
Little things appearing awfully big
Playing, sandbox shovels seriously dig
Miniature cars creating a parade
Playing with confidence, never afraid
Small puzzles offering a challenge
Showing off a newfound talent
Pictures take-off, ready to fly
Finding a favorite book nearby
Caring sister, like none other
Loving Bubba, her big brother
Baby starting out, lovingly cute
Playing music, like a flute
A toddler replacing the baby
Bringing out endless energy, daily
Parents watching with loving smiles
Thankful for every precious mile

I love it!!! Richard, this brought back so many memories when my girls were little! I would take them to the park and many times instead of just watching, I would swing with them, get on the slide with them, and on the see-saws! I noticed something when I did—other parents chimed in with their kids also! I wonder why we worry so much about what others think of us? My kids have never forgotten the fun. My oldest had done the same with hers, and I’m sure my youngest will when her little one grows big enough. 🙂
