once upon a timethere was a mommy
who had three little girls
the mommy fell in love with a very handsome man
the very handsome man
married the mommy
& her three little girls
in a garden
one Easter weekend
the very handsome man
gave the mommy a beautiful ring
& the three little girls each a gold bracelet
he promised to love them
& take care of them
forever
one summer afternoon
the mommy found out she was going to have another baby
but when she went to the doctor
the doctor couldn't hear the little baby's heartbeat
he told her he suspected
she was soon to have her 3rd miscarriage
since marrying the handsome man
the little family was leaving for the beach
the very next day
the mommy was very worried that week
she walked up & down the beach
& asked the Lord to protect
the tiny baby she carried
but that doctor was wrong
there was a tiny heartbeat there
& it was beating strong
7 months later
on march 20th
the mommy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl
march 20th is the first day of spring
& also a very tender day for the mommy
you see
on march 20th
the first day of spring
5 years earlier
the mommy sat beside her first husband
while the doctor told him
he had cancer
that doctor told them
he might live for 5 years
he lived for 9 months
5 years later
on the first day of spring
the exact same day
that had once brought fear, anxiety, & loss
march 20th
the Lord gave the mommy a sign of new life
a reminder that He loved her
& He loved her three little girls
he gave the mommy
a sign of hope
all wrapped up
in a 7 pound blue eyed blonde haired baby girl
the mommy
& the very handsome man
now had four little girls
their hearts overflowed
that's what you are to us
sweet child
a very special gift
to our family
a reminder of God's gentle love
& how we can always hope in Him
god gave me exceedingly more
than i ever asked for
&
much more than
i had dared
to allow
my heart to dream
He gave me
not only your daddy
but
then
He added you
i pray you know how much we love you
but even more
how much
He loves you
Happy Birthday sweet baby
you
completed
us
Jeremiah 29.11
For I know the plans I have for you
declares the Lord
plans to prosper you
and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope
and a future.
