Baby Brookie

Come and take a real good lookie,

At mommie's new baby, her name is Brookie!

Well it's really Brooklyn Rose,

She is so cute, you'd like to kiss her nose!

She is truly a very good baby all day,

Shhh...she's sleeping, in her crib she does lay.

Miss I Love Animals

Christan Marie loves all animals you see,
Kittens, kangaroos, dogs, and buzzing bumble bees.

She loves to read and do her part,
God has given her the gentlest heart.

She loves to go on adventures to someplace unknown,
Her dog is, Mercy, who she loves to give a bone.

Mr. Charming

Ethan Alexander the most charming of all,

Look into his baby browns and you will fall.

He's active and has energy to spare,

jumping from furniture like a hare.

Building with his legos castles, cars and towers,

Flexing his muscle like a tough boy showing off his powers!

Raegan with eyes that sparkle and shine,

With those blue eyes, I'm glad she's mine.

She is the sweetest girl by a mile,

Capturing all with her giant smile.

Running after her big sister and brother,

Taking care of babies like a little mother.

Jesus in our Darkest Hour

Jesus in the Darkest Hour

Our dreams our broken, our hopes have gone.
After every dark night, there rises a dawn.

It's strange to see life in its web,
Coming and going like the tide in ebb.

No promises of what the future may hold,
Except the love that our Savior does hold.

Hard to fathom and hard to see,
The future's clouded, how can it be.

Lives so precious, so tiny, so pure,
Lord, hold me, assure me, give strength to endure.

The pain is real, it builds inside,
Comfort and compassion in You do reside.

Heaven welcomed you where our Lord is praying,
I'll see you again, for eternity, I'll be staying.

From those dark moments that forever remain,
I am thankful dear Lord, that you know me by name.

You are mysterious, but Your ways are divine,
I am thankful that I am Yours, and You are mine.
