Lullaby for Baby
Written for Rebeccalynn by our friend,
Greydove.
Hush my little baby
it is time to sleep
close your eyes
so dreams my creep
Mommy’s here
to hold you near
sleep my baby
have no fear.
Sleep my baby,
have pleasant dreams
to keep you warm
I’ll wrap you in moon beams
to guide your way,
I sprinkle you in starlight
so you may see your way
through the night.
You are so dear,
I want you to know
your face it has
such an Angelic glow
You are my gift
from the heavens above
My one and only
precious Love.
Sleep my baby,
have pleasant dreams
to keep you warm
I’ll wrap you in moon beams
to guide your way,
I sprinkle you in starlight
so you may see your way
through the night.
The Cost of Children
I have seen repeatedly the breakdown
of the cost of raising a child,
but this is the first time
I have seen the rewards listed this way.
The government recently calculated
the cost of raising a child
from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140
for a middle income family.
Talk about sticker shock!
That doesn't even touch college tuition.
But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down.
It translates into $8,896.66 a year,
$741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week.
That's a mere $24.24 a day!
Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial
advice says don't have children,
if you want to be "rich".
It is just the opposite.
What do your get for your $160,140?
Naming rights? First, middle, and last!
Glimpses of God every day.
Giggles under the covers every night.
More love than your heart can hold.
Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds,
and warm cookies.
A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.
A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites,
building sandcastles, and skipping down thes
sidewalk in the pouring rain.
Someone to laugh yourself silly with
,no matter what the boss said or
how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins,
play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs,
and never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to keep:
reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
watching Saturday morning cartoons,
going to Disney movies,
and wishing on stars.
You get to frame rainbows, hearts,a
nd flowers under refrigerator magnets
and collect spray painted
noodle wreaths for Christmas,
hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day,
and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater
bang for your buck!
You get to be a hero,
just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
taking the training wheels off the bike,
removing a splinter,
filling a wading pool,
coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs,
and coaching a baseball team that never wins,
but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat to history to witness
the first step, first word, first bra,
first date, and first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal.
You get another branch added to your family tree,
and if you're lucky,
a long list of limbs in your obituary
called grandchildren.
You get an education in psychology, nursing,
criminal justice,communications,
and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child,
you rank right up there with God.
You have all the power to heal a boo-boo,
scare away the monsters under the bed,
patch a broken heart,
police a slumber party,
ground them forever,
and love them without limits,
so one day they will, like you,
love without counting the cost.
ENJOY YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS!
The best things in life are
family and friends!
Below you will find some beautiful poems
written by a friend of ours, Greydove
A Mothers Love
Beyond the battles of war
whether physical or internal
past all dreams one thing remains constant
friends, loyal but often fleeting
family somehow drifts away
but like a mighty mountain
one power always stays
and even when the spirit
glides to another space
and you feel alone
still here among the human race
you will be touched
by a blooming flower,
where once only brambles grew
for it is still there
the love of a mother so true
A Parent's Oath
Hush my child, close your searching eyes.
They seek answers I know not how to give,
Staring at me intensely with a purity I never knew before.
In my arms you lay,
My darling,
My own piece of heaven.
Sweet angel, I do not want you to know
Hunger, pain or strife.
Innocent babe whose tiny hand holds mine,
While there is strength in my body,
You shall not fall.
You trustingly let me lead you without question.
God willing,
I will give you all.
When you wake,
I'll be here to shelter you.
My Angel
My Love
My Child.
