I found this picture and a poem I wrote in 2008 tucked in my journal yesterday. With my mom flying out in the morning, sleepless nights, and even longer days ahead I needed this reminder that I'm not alone.
To my Jesus, who is everything to me
You are the sun
that bathes my world in a thankful glow
that chases shadows far from me
that warms and renews my soul
You are golden Light
You are the bright splash of dancing leaves
against a clear blue sky
a sudden gentle breeze
the thrill of joy in my children's eyes
You are all of these
You are the tiny arms of a little child
wound tight around my neck
the tug of love upon my heart
when I hold your gifts to me
You are the warmest feelings that I get
You are the gentle whispered kiss of night
the peaceful sound of a dreaming house
the knowledge that everything will be alright
You are the arms holding me tight
