Love is hugs and kisses.
Love is wiping noses and cleaning up vomit –
and remembering the sick girl cuddles.
Love is cleaning bums and clothes – and praying
over the girls that own them.
Love is cooking dinner – and praying
blessings over your family.
Love is cleaning up … again – and listening
to the echoes of laughter, and sometimes, shouts and tears, that fill the walls
of this house.
Love is folding laundry – and remembering
the reasons they got dirty, the active imaginations of girls growing.
Love is wiping down the bathroom – and remembering
the long journeys of potting training (and dreading the future potty training
for the one still in diapers).
Love is hugs and kisses – for sweet girls
that grow too fast, just wanting to hold them young a second longer.

| And older photo (last Christmas) but a perfect picture of love. :) |
Mothers love in infinite ways. Are those your babies? If so, adorable! Visiting from 31 Days... I love free writing. I don't do enough of it. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, they are my 2 oldest last Christmas - the oldest is now 5 and the younger one in this picture will be 3 in 2.5 weeks. We also have a 7 month old baby now too! :) I love them all to pieces! :) Free writing is a good practice (even though it's sometimes hard with the words we are given). :)
