Sleepy Head

At times I get so scared. What if I am not able to rise to every occasion? What if I miss something? What if all my love , encouragement and prayers are simply not enough. Then I hug each of my family tighter and pray a bit harder as my mind replays our families moments.

My son running up to me saying mama, his arms wrapping around me! My oldest sons words become smoke as he races and zooms back and forth. So excited he becomes a rocket about to blast off. My youngest boy so exhilarated you have to wonder if his flapping arms are going to become wings and soar him into to the air to the highest mountain top. My children helping each other out, protecting each other caring for each other. My beautiful little girl following me around watching me as intently as a bird perch atop a branch watching over its nearby nest. I see my son saying I love you, my other son handing me a picture drawn of him and I holding hands with our names labeled above. I see my daughter in her beautiful play dress and crown with eyes that sparkle, such a radiant soul. My children's hugs, each so special and precious. I see my children needing me, simply not knowing how much I need them. My husbands warm smile, holding a dozen roses in his hands. The births , the holidays the first words and all the magical moments replay in my head. I can now give my husband a kiss and say thank God for all I have and rest my tired head!
