A Touch Of Love
You
were six months old and full of fun
With
a blink of my eye, you were suddenly one.
There
were so many things we were going to do
But
I turned my head and you turned two.
At
two you were very dependant on me
But
independence took over when you turned three.
Your
third birthday, another year I tried to ignore
But
when I lit the candles, there weren’t
three, but four.
Four
was the year that you really strived
Why,
look at you now, you’re
already five.
Now
you are ready for books and for rules
This
is the year that you go to school.
The
big day came, you were anxious to go
We
walked to the bus, going oh, so slow.
As
you climbed aboard and waved goodbye
I
felt a lump in my throat and tears stung my eye.
Time
goes so fast, it’s
hard to believe
That
just yesterday you were home here with me.
And
tomorrow, when the bus brings you home and you jump to the ground
You’ll
be wearing your cap and graduation gown.
So
I’m holding to
these moments as hard as I can
Because
the next time I look, I’ll
be seeing a man.

Don’t educate your children to be rich, educate them to be happy. So when they grow up, they’ll know the value of things, not the price.
Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for they were born in another time.
Don’t raise your kids to have more than you had, raise them to be more than you were.
Give me a child for the first seven years and you may do what you want with him afterwards.
He
held the bouquet in a tightly clenched fist
A
wilted and droopy yellow
A
room full of blossoms I wouldn’t exchange
For
the pride shown by that little fellow
Not
lilacs or daisies, gardenias, not orchids
No
flowers - cultivated or wild
Can
equal a bouquet of spring dandelions
Handpicked
by an innocent child

I gave birth to you, but you came with no instructions. All I knew what that I loved you long before I saw you. I know I made some mistakes and for that, I am sorry, but I was doing the best I could with what I knew. Everything I did for you, I did from love. You are my child, my life, my dreams for tomorrow. I will always love you and there is nothing that could ever destroy my love for you.
I
like to walk with Grandpa and Grandma
Their
steps are short like mine
They
don’t say, “Now hurry up”
They
always take their time
I
like to walk with Grandpa and Grandma
Their
eyes see things like mind do…
Wee
pebbles bright, a funny cloud
Half
hidden drops of dew
Most
people have to hurry
They
do not stop and see
I’m
glad that God made Grandpa and Grandma
Unrushed
and young, like me
I may not be perfect, but when I look at my children, I know that I got something in my life perfectly right.
I will hold you tight, support you, guide you, teach you, hug you, protect you and love you with all my heart and Soul.. I am your parent. Since the day you were born and until I draw my last breath, all that I am is yours.
I
will…
Let them be little.
Fill their hearts with laughter.
Help
them grow wings.
Nurture their sense of wonder.
Inspire them to
believe.
And love them like there is no tomorrow.
I
won’t always cry, Mummy
When
you leave the room
And
my supermarket tantrums
Will
end too, soon
I
won’t always wake, Daddy
For
cuddles through the night
And
one day you will miss
Having
a chocolate face to wipe
You
won’t always wake to find my foot
Is
kicking you out of bed
Or
find me sideways on your pillow
Where
you want to lay your head
You
won’t always have to carry me
In
asleep from the car
Or
piggy-back me down the road
When
my little legs can’t walk that far
So
cherish every cuddle
Remember
them all
One
day, Mummy and Daddy
I
won’t be this small

It’s the little memories that will last a lifetime.
Little feet leave the biggest footprints in our hearts.
My
Beautiful Child.
When
you were born, you never came with instructions. I know I have made
some mistakes along the way and for those I’m sorry. I am far from
being the perfect parent, but I have always done the best I could.
The mistakes I have made came from a lack of understanding, not a
lack of love, because from the moment you were born into my life I
knew I would love you with all I am. On the day your were born I
looked into your eyes and all my dreams came true. I love you more
than you will ever know, now and for all eternity.
My child is my rainbow, my ray of Light in the darkest storms.
My kids are my heart and Soul. They will always be my babies, even when they grow old.
No
matter whether birth or choice
A
home is blessed from above
When
caring parents claim their child
A
family is formed by love

The
day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an

The day he
forgives himself, he becomes wise.

Until
you’ve…
Counted
little fingers
Counted
little toes
Held
a little hand
Kissed
a little nose
Soothed
a little tummy
Read
to a little ears
Powdered
a little booty
Wiped
away little tears
You
haven’t known love
Wasn’t it beautiful, when you believed in everything.
We didn’t give you the gift of life, life gave us the gift of you.
We need to care less about whether our children are academically gifted and more about whether they sit with the lonely kid in the cafeteria.
What should not be heard by little ears, should not be said by big mouths.
What we are speaks so loudly, that our children may not hear what we say.
Without my kids… my house would be clean, my wallet would be full, but my heart would be empty.
Without my kids… tomorrow wouldn’t be worth the wait and yesterday wouldn’t be worth remembering.
You cannot expect to raise children who are self-controlled and gentle, when you are not.
You must first teach a child he is loved, only then is he ready to learn everything else.
You will never look back on life and think: I spent too much time with my children.
