Measures

Relief, joy, calm

Emotions experienced

In different measure

At the births of

Our three children –

Circumstances varied greatly

Each one a miracle-

Whether feeling

Relief, joy, or calm

Thankfulness covered us

Like a warm blanket –

And each miraculous time

Love was the binding

That wrapped each stitch

The gentle hand

That collected each tear

While changing each diaper

Our children know their stories. They’ve heard them more than once. And they know each other’s stories. If asked, they could choose which emotion most closely matches their birth. They are also the best at describing each other’s personalities.

I’m thankful they call me Mom. ❀️

  1. For many reasons, this touches my heart. You and your husband created 3 amazing humans–and look at the precious little one that is continuing the amazing family name. This is beautiful, Kelley!! πŸ’•β£οΈπŸ€ PS–after visiting my youngest son and family last weekend, I told my sister my heart wants to write about my “boys”. My heart feels as you.
