My Baby Boy!

"My Baby Boy
he brings so much joy.
Chubby cheeks and chin
and a really great grin.
All of God's grace
in his cute little face.
Even tho'l pray
little he won't stay.
Please don't grow so fast
let these cherished moments last.
Cars, balls, and boats
soon he'll make them float.
Outgrowing all his toys
My Cherished Baby Boy!" ~ Christine Michaels

My Christmas Secrets

Hurry Christmas!
How you creep,
I've some presents I can't keep,
Just this morning I forgot,

And told baby what I'd bought.
All he answered was, "Goo goo!"
So I don't think that he knew,
I told mamma hers was white,

And she'd wear it every night.
That she'd need it getting tea.
Then my mamma smiled at me,
And she whispered, "Isn't Jessie
Letting secrets fly away?"
