When Mommy's Your Name

Just reading this brought back wonderful memories of my years of being a mommy! Years I cherish and wouldn't trade for anything in the world. From the time I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a mommy and God blessed me with two little girls!! The days have past so quickly and years have gone by and now those precious little girls are wonderful young ladies, friends, companions, and valued more than ever! So, if you find yourself being stressed and pulled in too many different directions by the demands of your little ones...take heart...cherish the time because it passes all too swiftly! Slow down and enjoy every minute! God has entrusted you with a precious child to mold and develop into the person He designed them to be!

Enjoy the read...


When Mommy's Your Name


- by Jacey Reynolds
The telephone's ringing, the TV is blaring.

Sister is crying' cause Brother's not sharing.

There's a spill on the carpet that no one will claim.

There's no time for sitting when Mommy's your name.

The laundry is folded but not put away.

The dishes you just washed are from yesterday.

Without any warning your relatives came.

There's no getting caught up when Mommy's your name.

You drive to the market, you drive to the school

You drive to the cleaners, you drive the carpool

You drive yourself crazy, it's really a shame.

There's no time for resting when Mommy's your name.

To your bedroom you sneak to find peace for a minute,

but your minute is over before you begin it.

Your little one finds you and thinks it's a game.

There's no time for hiding when Mommy's your name.

At night as you kneel to thank heaven above you,

An angel creeps in and says, "Mommy, I love you."

You may not know glory or fortune or fame,

but what does it matter when Mommy's your name?
