Hearts of Glitter
Three little shining
stars of glitter
lighting up my world
Showing me who I
really am,
what I'm not and
where I'm going
My heart isn't as
clean as I thought
but I'm stronger
than I've ever been
Something about the
refining light
shining through
their eyes
That makes me want
to be better for them
Teaching me to die
Teaching me to live
again
Holding me
accountable for where my heart has been
Three little shining
stars of glitter that came to change my world
Once upon a morning
after I held her in my arms
The first baby,
Ellie, brought me into another world
A place where my
heart had never been
So full and
mesmerized wanting to soak this all in
I thought I could
not love anymore my heart would burst
Just then came
Elkanah to show me my love could stretch
And two is better
than one
I was complete now
our family was whole
Until I met a
whole 'nother girl
I stared in
disbelief that Aliza meant just as much to me
Oh the joy that she
would bring
Even in the middle
of storms she comforted me
I never would have
known that to be perfectly complete I needed perfection times three
These little shining
stars of glitter lighting up my world
Teach me to die
again
Teach me to live
better
Stars, in my eyes you
glitter
And paint a more
lovely world
Prayer for Those Who Have Mothered or Fathered Those That Shine
Heavenly Father
Teach us to appreciate the little ones in our lives.
To respect their role in
our personal growth and love them for it.
Father
Help us to love
unconditionally and without restraint.
Use us to show this generation what it
means to love,
You with all their heart, soul, and might and their neighbor as
themselves.
Let us realize the amazing grace
You've shown us in giving us
children to love.
Lover of our souls.
Show us how to love them in such a way
that they encounter You and feel their worth,
Enabling them to receive the
calling
You've placed on their lives.
In Your Beloved Son's Name,
Amen.
"But Yeshua said, “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
