My Little Boy
by Jennifer Lund
As you sleep so beautifully
I think of what you mean to me
my precious child, my little boy
you bring to mommy so much joy
when you smile big and bright
it brings me back to every night
when I would hold & rock you tight
in my arms you felt just right
always meant for me to hold
what a feeling I was told
to keep you warm & never cold
I didn't know just what it meant
until each moment with you I spent
I am a single mother of a 3 1/2 yr. old boy. I felt compelled to write this as I watched my little baby sleep so beautifully one night. Children are an inspiration!!!!!

Gallynappers
When you were a little tad and you'd stayed out too late,
And it was a long way home in the dark thru the ditch,
You just knew the "gallynappers" were a'goin' to get you
But you'd better get for home or dad would use a switch.
You were frightened, oh, you bet, as you came up to the ditch,
It was dark as it could be as no light lingered there,
Then you heard a noise from there and it took your breath away,
Was it a "gallynapper" or a tiger, or a bear?
Then just in front of you rose the figure of your dad,
A more welcome sight than any you could think,
He said, "I figured you'd be late, so I came to walk with you,"
And your fear was laid to rest just as quickly as a wink.
That's the way it is with God when we have a frightening task,
He'll take your hand and walk with you all along the way,
All the scary "gallynappers" will be put in their place,
You'll be walking in the light of His marvelous day.
