Thankful



As I sit and watch my
Beautiful family, I thank
The creator for blessing
Me with such.

The two girls run through
The fields of tulips and daisies
While their dad and brother chase
Them playfully.

As the sun sets and the
Kids draw their baths, mom
And dad prepare to tuck the
Kids into bed.

With kisses on each little
Head, we say goodnight
And go to bed.
