Savor

A Mother’s heart besets traditions created in this infancy

From the kiss on the chin at the dawn of night,

Bundle laid to crib as prayers croon away fright,

And blanket drawn up under rolly double-chin,

The smile in the voice as you tuck your child in.

The round little hand with dimple on each knuckle,

Now grasps teddy bear and lips feign a suckle,

From tiny throat comes a humming, calming the heart

Of the mother, though the mother returns the favor as her part.

Sleep sweetly, my baby…

Rest well through the night….

Might Jesus wrap his arms ‘round you

Till we see morning’s light

He'll Take, My Dear

Fall freely at His feet, My child,

He is the King of hearts

He’ll take within His arms,

My child,

The weak and lost, my dear.

Know lies from truth and trust, My child,

And glory will be known, My dear.

Talk freely to His ear,

My child,

He loves to hear your thoughts

He knows your future plans,

My child,

Receive His wisdom, dear.

Rest within His love, My child,

When you want to flee,

His security is true, My child,

Unlike the world’s, my dear.

Knows lies from truth and trust, My child,

And glory will be known, My dear.

Child's Eyes

My lips parted to sing a verse,

My infant calmed his energies;

Night drew near, and arms wrapt him round

And throat let loose its lullabies.

His chubby hand to air then strayed

Upon my lips to catch

The melody his ears caused eyes to see,

And, sleepily, did watch.

o happy days

Cuddling up during his pacifier days with his bearcub

As you can see, those "scrawny legs" are beginning to diminish!

hardworking men

Eddie was at the time working for NPI, doing labor in the mill. He'd come home pretty exhausted, take a refreshing shower, find his son and then take a snooze on the couch. Sometimes I'd catch him awake as Uriah slept, just watching him.

the napster

With his oft-napping schedule he spent a lot of time on the couch; I loved to watch him so peacefully sleeping (I could almost HEAR him growing) as I went about housekeeping.

In the mornings after Eddie would go to work I would then cuddle up with Uriah on our bed and he would always be in quite the jabbering mood - and I'd sing and talk to him until he got tired again. It was a precious beyond precious time i'll always cherish.
