Motherhood

All moms’ thinks their kids are better then the rest.
But sorry moms, my kids are the best!
I have two, a boy and a girl.
They keep me moving like a tornado in a swirl.
I remember the day they each were born.
My heart was so heavy with joy, it could have torn.
As, Ray and I held them tight,
We promised each other and God to raise them right.
I am so blessed as a mom, to stay home and raise them there.
Those precious moments with them I was able to share.
The very first smile, crawl, pull up and walk.
I was there for it all and even their first talk.
Those things, like their birth, is forever in my heart.
Oh, but there are so many other memories. Where do I start?
How about all of the road trips and mile we drove?
And the many times in the cool pool we dove.
Barbies, dolls, tea sets, kitchens, ponies and swings.
And then there are those, animals, reptiles, trucks, cars and many things with dings.
How about all the early mornings awake,
And all the trips to ballet and cheerleading we would take.
Then there’s the room for Aryna that has to be the best.
So, here comes mom. Did I hold up to the test?
I took pink and red paint, rhinestones, ruffles and fabric galore
A vanity, crystal chandeliers and all the trips to the store.
Maybe, a long the way, I made a little mess.
But it turned out perfect for Aryna, the Rodeo princess.
Now about that boy, oh what a boy!
He loves to fall, jump, and ride and makes everything into a toy.
I mean really, why would you want to jump and fall on your knee?
And where does all the dirt come from, because on him that is all I see.
Gray hairs might come early because of Wyatt.
But I melt when he smiles and picks his mommy a flower of violet.
So even those days when Aryna is a little sassy and girlish,
Or when I am chasing Wyatt on his four wheeler, I can only wish…
Wish for so many more days to come.
Because without them I would be a bum.
Yes, sometimes I don’t get what I want,
But I need to do what God wants.
And I believe he wants me to raise them to grow…
Grow up to tell others of Him and how he loves them so.
So, for now, in my life, in this season,
I devote my life to God, Ray, Aryna and Wyatt for that reason.
I thank God for Blessing me too.
And for Ray, I couldn’t do it without you.
So, Motherhood to me, in a word or two…
Is the best thing anyone could ever experience and do!
