"Little Ones" - A Poem for my babies

Remember that song My Favourite Things by Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music? I like the idea of thinking about my favourite things when I am sad. And my most favourite "things" of all are my precious little babies, my little ones, of course. I write this poem to remind me to be thankful for them when they become more than just a little handful to handle it makes me want to tear my hair out. Lol! Its also a record of this special time I have with them when they are small.

Little Ones

Little arms that hold me tight

so fiercely with all their might

they find me even in the night

making everything feel so right

Little smiles meant just for me

ever ready for me to see

lighting up the room with so much glee

making me feel better, thats a guarantee

Little kisses sweeping over my face

while small arms wrap me in warm embrace

as tiny fingers explore and leave a trace

making sure good feelings are in place

Little hands that reach out for mine

to soothe and comfort when they whine

that precious feeling no one can ever define

making me feel simply divine

My little ones how I adore you

you're so innocent, so pure and true

when I'm with you I can't feel blue

I'll love you till my days are through
