Oh Lord, I do not ask for much ~eternal beauty or youth or such
Just give me a little hand to hold
and I'll forget that I'm growing old
I do not ask for cloudless skies
a life that's free from tears and sighs
Just give me a little face to kiss
and anxious moments will turn to bliss
For what is there, really, that means so much
Just give me a little hand to holdand I'll forget that I'm growing old
I do not ask for cloudless skiesa life that's free from tears and sighs
Just give me a little face to kissand anxious moments will turn to bliss
For what is there, really, that means so muchas little hands that reach and touch
As little eyes that search and see
As little eyes that search and seeonly the best in fragile me?
So let me grow more loving and wise
So let me grow more loving and wiseby looking at life through their wide eyes
For through these little ones, You have given
For through these little ones, You have giventhis grateful grandma a glimpse of heaven.

Mom, this is a beautiful Valentine's Day post!
Thanks, Rachel. My heart just agrees so much with this sweet little poem. :)
Cute!
What a wonderful little poem Mom! I love it!
What are you folks doing tonight?
I love it, thanks mom! I just gave the kids your valentine's to them. They are quite excited and delighted.
Hi Everyone! Mr. Jones and I had our Valentine "date" yesterday afternoon actually. We ate a wonderful yummy late lunch at Red Lobster and then ran errands together. :) We're not doing anything tonight because I volunteer at Super Saturday over at church every Sat. night and don't get home until 8:00 or so. I'm glad the kids liked the valentines, Di. Do you think we could possibly SKYPE tonight or tomorrow afternoon? Hope all of you folks get to do something fun with your families today and maybe even have a "date" with your husbands. :)
