I remember well~
as I look into the eyes of my grandson.
I remember well~
Looking into the eyes of my adult children as
I see their little eyes, when they were his age.
I remember well.
Time flies
Things change
You can't stop it.
Tears fill my eyes
and I wonder why.
As the New Year approaches
we will all be a year older,
yet we see how fast time flies
in the life of a baby
as he changes right before your eyes
as a reminder
that we too are changing.
I think of
The Baby
in the manger~
One moment
He
is a baby
and then
He is on a cross.
What has happened in~between?
Do we forget that
He was a toddler and then a teen?
Do we forget that
He was a teen and then an adult?
Do we forget
that
He had a mother
and
an earthly father
who had to let
Him go
so
He could do what He was called to do.
Of course I think of the
mother's heart,
letting her Babe go,
as I think of my heart
as I let go of my babes
who are no longer babes
and haven't been for a while.
I remember when.
Tears fill my eyes
as I go back and think of
my mother and her mother
and her mother's mother
who had to let their children go.
Tears fill my eyes
as time ticks
and
as I
and
as you
grab onto those that we love so much
and as we let go of those that we love so much
so that they can let go of those that they love so much.
From the
Manger to the Cross
The Baby
grew up
so that
He could be the grown up
in our hearts
to walk with us
to talk with us
to be with us
when the tears come
in all shapes and forms.
So as we approach the
New year
take a moment to
Remember Well
the blessings in your life
because they are gifts from
God
as signs of
His Great Love
for you and for me
that never changes~
but changes us.
