For My Children

I remember my pregnancy with you 
I fell in love with your every move, and with the sound of your beating heart. 
I held your precious body in my arms for the first time and took in your sweet, angelic presence. 
Nothing could prepare me for what would lie ahead. 
Nothing could prevent my heart from breaking, but it had to be done. 
I tried to be strong, but my strength failed me. 
I never knew it would be so difficult to write my own name. 
I cried, and was grateful for all the precious memories you've given me. 
It was a new beginning for you. 
The healing was beginning for me. 
Time went forward, I learned and grew as I slowly let go of you. 
My heart was healed, my life was blessed and my prayers were answered. 
Still, there's days when I cry. 
I will never stop thinking about you. 
Still I wonder about the person you are now, and the person you've yet to become. 
I pray that you will always know of the love I have for you. 
It's only through the grace of God that you were mine for a time. 
He gave you to me, I lovingly obeyed his plans for you.

May Your

May your mind always seek further knowledge of the world around you, and of the things that are 
right and good.
May your eyes always behold the beauty of our Father's world.
May your ears always hear the angelic sound of a child's laughter.
May your mouth always speak words of kindness, and honesty.
May your nose always smell the sweet fragrance of a Spring rain.
May your voice always rise up in prayer and supplication to the Lord.
May your shoulders always be light in true forgiveness.
May your heart always know the fullness of faith, hope and charity.
May your hands always be open to give.
May your fingers always wipe a friends tear. 
May your arms always hold close those things that are precious and good. 
May your knees always bend in prayer.
May your feet always have the strength and engery to take you to those in need.
