treasures


Each morning as I make the bed
I lift the pillow and am greeted by treasures
What will they be today?
A marvelous rock,
A favorite book,
A beloved doll or piece of jewelry?
All placed lovingly, securely by a cherubic little hand
Items that are gently lulling her into slumber
Goodnight

Bravo, quite poetic, and a beautiful spin on having to clean up more kid messes! I was wondering, was this from Mimi's truly cherubic little hand, or was it from the little demon-child? Sometimes demonic might seem more appropriate for her, but just remember, they're both heaven-sent!! I love the pictures you take and the time you spend to notice these things, so I can enjoy them with you! Thanks for posting all the time. You truly make my day.

Definitely Mimi's hand! I found yet a different flashlight this morning. The picture in this post is from yesterday's bed making. Sometimes I find drawings or letters. I think I like finding flowers the best, even though I think most of nature is best left outside, especially large sticks.
