Sam

ave you heard the quote " Love is spelled T-I-M-E?" With all my heart I believe it's true.... especially when our children are involved. Little ones need to know that they are special and worthy of the best we have to offer. Not necessarily a vacation or spending lots of money but doing simple things like a walk in the woods or reading a book or just sitting on the floor playing with blocks. I know that Sam gets the proper attention, it shows in the smile on his face!

I Took His Hand and Followed

My dishes went unwashed today,
I didn't make the bed,
I took his hand and followed
Where his eager footsteps led.

Oh yes, we went adventuring,
My little son and I,
Exploring all the great outdoors
Beneath the summer sky.

We waded in a crystal stream,
We wandered through a wood;
My kitchen wasn't swept today
But life was gay and good.

We found a cool, sun-dappled glade
And now my small son knows
How Mother Bunny hides her nest,
Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows.

We watched a robin feed her young,
We climbed a sunlit hill,
Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky,
We plucked a daffodil.

That my house was neglected,
That I didn't brush the stairs,
In twenty years, no one on earth
Will know, or even care.

But that I've helped my little boy
To noble manhood grow,
In twenty years, the whole wide world
May look and see and know.
