ANGEL BABY

SHILOH, MY ANGEL BABY
MAMA LOVES YOU MORE THAN I EVER DREAMED
ALL THAT YOU ARE IS PURELY A GIFT TO ME

ONLY THREE WEEKS OLD
EVEN WHEN YOU CRY
YOUR VOICE IT ECHOES IN MY MIND

SHILOH, SO STRONG AND PERFECT
THE JOY IN YOUR EYES
MAKES OTHERS REJOICE AND LAUGH AND SIGH

ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD
SO EXPRESSIVE IN YOUR EVERY MOVE
LEARNING TO LIVE, WRESTLE, AND SCREAM
I AM SO THANKFUL YOU WERE GIVEN TO DADDY AND ME

MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT

Sometimes i wish I could say that I did my best
but I did a little less.
Sure I donated here and there
but I have always more to spare.
I have so much more than I will ever need
Dear Lord please
Help me to see what I have and
Make a conscious effort to give it away.
I do not want to look back and realize in shame
I have wasted time and resources and the gifts that have been given to me.

Sometimes I wish i could say that I did my best
but in all truth I did a little less.
I have asked more of others than I expect of myself...
Ignoring hurts that I might have cause someone else.
I have delayed forgiveness and hidden truth
Forgotten what matters most in making every minute count...
Letting others know how much they matter to me
Doing everything within my power to set others free.
