A Few Of My Favorite Things.....

 

Beside my family and dancing...taking pictures is truly my favorite thing to do! I especially love taking nature and wildlife photos. I also take some decent photos of people. I love capturing the color and the texture that the Lord had created. It's truly inspires me when I'm able to capture that special moment in nature or that special smile. This week I was able to help a friend in taking her family photos and it made me realize that it's truly something I truly love doing. Here are some of my favorite:

To My First Born Son....

To my first born son, eldest of three
Whom I've always loved and adored
You're such a good son, and also big brother
You've always made me proud to be your mother

From the moment I knew you existed
The life that I felt for you could not be resisted
The elation that I felt as you grew in my womb
The joy I felt in my heart as I started to bloom

 

From the first time you kicked your Dad in the ear
Until the glorious day you actually appeared
Upside down and much quicker than planned
You changed my life that instant, you understand 

Becoming a parent was scary from the start
You hope you do the right thing by following your heart
You give your love and guidance each and every day
Hoping to raise your children the best possible way






But you never receive any specific guarantee
That they'll turn out exactly as you want them to be
You pray that you've influenced them positively each day
In decisions they make, what they do, what they say

  
You hope and you pray that you've done everything right
But you never know the outcome, not just overnight
So you share in their lives, through the ups and the downs
And try to support them and always be around

So while raising you I tried to do the best that I could do
I don't know exactly what I did to deserve you
But I definitely must have done something right
Because having you for my son has been pure delight.

It has been 10 years and it has gone so fast. 
I'm looking forward to our journey together to manhood
I'm eternally grateful to be your mother.
