If Only

I wrote this poem because one year for Christmas we didn't have alot of money and I made almost all of the gifts for everyone and our children were small so they didn't care. I wanted them to know how much they were loved someday when they got older.

 

If Only

If only I could

I surely would

Freeze time for just a while.

So I could have

And always hold

All the memories of your smiles.

If only I could

I always would

Remember all the things.

The little things

You did so sweet

They are as precious as angel wings!

If only I could

Express the love

I feel for each of you.

There isn't a way

Except to say

This poem is for all of you!

All the longing of your Mother-heart comes through in this sweet poem for your children. I know the feeling well.
We had one Christmas when my sister-in-law's friend gave her several used stuffed animals, and we used them for our kids' gifts.
This poem is a lasting gift for your children, and as they grow older, they will cherish the poem and your love.
