A Prayer for You, Little One

Happy Wednesday everyone.  As I approach 30, I find myself constantly thinking of children. Sometimes, I'm thinking, what's wrong with me? I've this strong conflicting desire to have them and nurture them. I always blame it on my female hormones, but I'm sure that's not true. Is it just me, or is it anyone else too? I want three little munchkins and a chaotic house.

Anyway, enough of that rant. I've also been seeing some of my old friends struggle through pregnancies, and children's health when they are born,  (where I'm getting this poem's inspiration from)  and this is a prayer poem for a mom to read to her children and to remind them to cherish the family moments.

Enjoy this poem. It's very special to me. 

A Prayer for You Little One

God bless you little one.
May your legs grow fully so you can run
Towards your smiling grandmother.

May your heart beat fully
So you know what your resting heart feels like,  and you peacefully
Fall asleep in your sitter's arms.

May you see everything,
So you can see the sparkle in your mother's eye
When your father looks at her lovingly.

May your ears hear fully,
So you can listen truly,
To the words your sister says to protect you from world's cruelties.

May you be able to touch,
So you feel the happiness of your father's kiss, so much,
Creating a special, unbelievable bond.

May you be able to smell, the scent
Of the sweat, on your father's unwashed shirt
Of hard-work to provide for you.

May you think clearly,
So you always know the value of family
And you can always find your way home.

God bless you little one.
Mostly, may you grow strong, beautiful, and healthy, so I can love you. 

Below is a link to leggings that I love. You're going to pray a pretty penny for them, but I promise they fare so well for me with that yoga and barre class.  Also there is a link to shoes that I mostly use for athleisure purposes.

The Outside and The Inside

Hey All! Sorry for the late post! It's been a crazy weekend!
Anyway, this post is for you mom...
Also, can you tell what poetic form I'm experimenting with? 
Last, below is a kimono I love from my trip to Nashville way below. Check it out! 

Let me know your thoughts! 

Outside

Waves keep pouring
Over a very large barrier,
Flooding cement roads.

Rain keeps on pouring,
Smacking windshields rapidly.
Gloom;  the lightning strikes.

Thud. Cars Crash.

Inside

The little girl, sweet,
Cuddles in her fleece blanket;
Sheltered from the rain

Scared of sounds. Thud. Smack.
But held by a beating heart
Mother holding her

Love at its' sweetest, purest form.
See with every awful moment, there is a beautiful one.

Resting below the surface. Sometimes, look below the surface, the outside, and see what's happening inside. Through the tough times, deep love keeps us moving on.

Below is a kimono from the Brand, Do Everything in Love! Wish I could find this exact kimono, but I can't.
