my sweetest gift

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected

She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning

And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle that keeps us from falling

She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the Heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning

And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment

I've been singing that song lately to my boys as I've put them to bed. It's so beautiful and I've been having some incredibly sweet moments with them lately especially. I just love them with all my heart. They are a handful (x1000) and sometimes I feel like the circus came to town when I try to go to Trader Joe's with them (let's all boycott those dang kiddie carts, ok?) but even though my hands are full, my heart is fuller. Being a wife and a mother is definitely the sweetest gift.
