Dreams of the Nutcracker

When I am older, 
I will sweep you off your feet. 
I will take you from here, 
2 a land far away. 

Birds will sing, 
and no one “unkind”
will be allowed. 
There will be
pretty colored flowers, 
everywhere,
there will be fish, 
in the pond. 

When I am older, 
I will be a fireman, 
and save you from the fire. 
When I am older, 
I will be a medic, 
and heal all wounds…
When I am older I will be, 
an officer, 
a soldier, 
an Indian Chief.

When I am older, 
I will be “all” that you need. 

Until then…
Dear Lord, 
I am a small son, 
asking for Your Glory, 
Shine Bright,
on to the princess 
of my life.
 
Until 
I am older.

True heroes, are made... they are not born with talents, they are blessed by kneeling. David took on Goliath, as he had no doubt. May your holiday be full of the Mighty Miracles of his birth, death and resurrection... Blessings to you... bells that ring only when you want them too, and are never "alarms". :) Ann

Prayers your house is full of angels... singing... quietly in the back ground of every conversation. Adding peace to the moments, in least expected ways. Ann
