Handle With Care

Handle with Care
  ought to be written there
On soft fragile foreheads
  tucked into precious beds

From infancy to toddlerhood
  childhood through adolescence
Survival thanks to the good
  grace of His blessed Effulgence...

As we hover o'er our graves
  thanks to Him who paves
Our way, handles us with care
  hears our every prayer

A beautiful prayer. Oh how we would like to protect every precious one. And yet God hears our prayers in the current state we are in, as he carefully watches and we lean into his promises

Wish my own children liked me as much as other kids do... C'est la vie, I guess.
