Stopping Time

I look into your eyes, and daily you change.

You're getting taller,
Your vocabulary is broadening-
Your spirit is growing.

The luck I feel, with your soul in my life,

Is indescribable at times.

Selfishly, I wish I could stop time,

To hold on to this moment a little longer.

I wonder what you will see...

What life has in store for you.

I want to give you all my wisdom to protect you,

And shield you from hurt.

But this, unfortunately I cannot do.

Life has to play out, 
And lessons are part of the journey.

Pain has to dance with joy,

In order for you to really appreciate it all.

God, I pray your path is blessed,

That you find your calling early,

I pray your dreams are realized,

Which will allow you to dream some more.

You are the loves of my life-

You have given purpose to my soul.

You little angels bless our family,

One day, you will understand this-

BELIEVE, DREAM, LOVE…

It can all happen my baby,

May your story be inspirational...
