Checking on three sleeping children tonight
Tucking them in, making sure they’re alright
Thinking of one who is so far away
Remembering that I need to cherish today
The ones that are sleeping under my roof tonight
They need to know that my love is here
Hugging them closer, holding them near
The one that is living in a world torn with strife
He needs to know that someone does care
Someone who longs for the chance to be there
The smile on her face – the joy that he shares
Each one so precious, so special, unique
Each one a gift from our Father to me
The ones that are sleeping under my roof tonight
Help them to know that God’s love is here
Hugging them closer, holding them near
The one that is living in a world torn with strife
He needs to know that the Father does care
And that He is the one who is already there
Let me not miss this moment
Of my children’s lives.

This is so beautiful, Stephanie. I just found your blog through my friend April's blog (congratulations on winning the giveaway!), and I was so touched by your poem. I completely feel the way you have expressed in that I don't want to miss a moment of my sweet Owen's life. I missed the first year and a half while he was in an orphanage in Vladivostok, Russia, and each day he has been home we have cherished each moment we've been blessed to share with him. He is the greatest gift God has even given to us, and we are so grateful. I'd like to add you to my list of favorite blogs if it's okay with you. I'd love to continue to read about your walk with God and your precious children.
Many Blessings,
Adrienne
