Because of You, God
Because of You
I have life.
I am a princess and part
of the bride of Christ.
Because of You
I have a song.
You gave me a Godly man
whose love is strong.
Because of You
I am warmed.
You gave me Delight,
my lucky charm.
Because of You
I can smile.
You gave me my Sunshine,
whose joy lasts for miles.
Because of You
I am amazed.
You gave me my sweet Valentine
to cherish and raise.
Because of You
I am blessed:
-with life,
-with song,
-with happiness.
I am not much of a poet, however, this came to me the other night at 1 am when I was up with sick kids and then laying wide awake (anyone ever experince that?) So I got up and penned this poem. At the time, I was trying to find some inspiration for a tatoo that I plan on getting in the near future, but could not decide what I wanted to do. So I don't even know if the tatoo or the poem came first, kind of like the chicken and the egg. But here is the result, this poem is sort of a testimonial to the blessings God has given me. So I plan on getting an ankle charm bracelet and each charm will mean something significant: a small tiara showing that I am a daughter of the King of Kings (i.e. princess), a cross explaining what Jesus did for me which allows me to be part of his bride and join him in heaven some day, a treble clef which represents Chris "my song", a shamrock because Eden was born on St. Patrick's Day "my luck charm", a sunshine because Eli was born in the heat of the summer and his favorite lullaby is "You are my Sunshine", and a heart because Tobe came a little earlier than his Feb. 14th due date so he's my favorite Valentine. So now I am really excited and passionate about my future tatoo and believe that this passion will hopefully diminish some of the pain. Wishful thinking, right? Anyways, God's blessings are good.

That is so great! Thanks for inviting me to your blog! Your family is precious! And, by the way, that first date with JT was at the movies on Rangeline. :)
