My Million Dollar Penny
I never realized how good it would feel
To have a little clone
Someone who would be with me
And never leave me alone.
Someone who would look in my eyes
And see her very own
And hope she'll be just like me
When she's fully grown.
Someone to love forever
And have as my best friend
Someone who will also love me
Until the very end.
Someone who looks up to me
And thinks that I'm the best
And truly believes from her heart
I'mbetter then the rest.
Someone who says I love you
Every single night
Before she falls asleep
And hugs me OH so tight.
Someone who at five years old
looked at me and said
Mommy, I'll love you forever
Even when you're dead.
Someone who makes me cry a tear
Of pure and simple joy
By just being a little angel
While she's playing with her toy.
The amount of love I'll always feel
For my perfect little treasure
Is so intense and so immense
That there is no greater measure.
So I'll end my thoughts by simply saying
She's my one and only Jenny
And I thank God every day
For my million dollar penny.

"FROM MY HEART TO YOURS"
MaryJane
Just want to add a prayer I came across that I think fits, I sometimes thank God that I raised my kids, because I think it has to be really hard in the 90's and I really don't think I could handle it.
For parents, for their children
Dear God, make me a better parent. Help me to understand my child, to listen patiently to what they have to say, and to answer all their questions wisely and kindly.
Keep me from criticizing them so that they can learn from their strengths and weaknesses. Keep me from making all decisions so that they can learn to solve problems.
Help me to appreciate my children as they are, not as I would have them to be. In closeing I think I would just like to say we all want whats best for our kids, and we can only hope that, the best we could have done was in fact good enough...
