Take Time

Dear Noah,

We went to a Mommy and Me class this week and you were a social butterfly. They gave us this poem and I thought it was very fitting:

Take time to hold me on your lap,

To joke with me and make me laugh,

Take time, Mommy; this time will go so fast.

Take time to give me extra hugs,

To teach me a nursery rhyme or song,

Take time, Mommy; I won't be little long.

Take time to tuck me into bed,

To read that story you know by heart,

Take time, Mommy; soon these days will part.

Take time to exclaim over what I color,

To admire the things I make from clay,

Take time, Mommy; soon it won't be the same.

Take time to let me help you work,

To teach me the many things you know,

Take time, Mommy;

Enjoy me as I grow!

~Julie O'Brien

Love you more than I thought possible,

Mommy
