Feed hungry babies,
wipe up spills, exercise patience, calm squabbles, clean, cook,
organize, get the laundry washed
and put away, doctor's appointments, school activities, baseball, football, soccer games, plan celebrations
and holidays, decorate for parties
and seasons, bake cookies for school events, buy
and wrap presents, hugs, kisses, storytime, grocery shop, clothes shop, fix boo - boo's
and owies, bring encouragement, pray, comfort hearts
and wipe tears, make happy memories, play games together, care for them when they get sick in the middle of the night, change
diapers, bathe the little ones so they're fresh, clean
and smelling sweet, tuck them into bed with prayers at night, get out the door to go to church with hair combed
and shoes on, tell them you love them to the moon
and back, sit, listen
and look into their eyes
and savor their sweetness...
and a million other things!
