On My Momma's Chest - Love, Micah

Hi mommy!
Now, you pay attention here...
Look deep into my eyes
And open up your ears.

Here goes another battle.
It is upon us.
Don't you forget who's in charge, though!
Remember Jesus?

Don't make me grab your hair,
You look back at me!
Momma, don't look sad.
I'm sitting here, smiling!

We don't know what the future holds,
And yes I know, it's scary.
But remember who made my heart.
And remember that His does not grow weary.

Look at this grin across my face,
And see the cute strands of drool slide down.
I promise I will give you no reason
To cry or frown.

I met Jesus in the operating room
Just a few months ago.
He held the surgeon's hands
And kept my heart beating to and fro.

He let me know that He loves you,
Too, Momma. He really does!
He also said he's the same today,
Just like yesterday, he was.

He promised me that
I can trust him and that you need to let go.
Momma... I love you!!
Look down into my face and know!

I love reaching up and grabbing your cheek.
You always tickle me and I love to squeal!
Momma, you always hug me just the right way
And you have helped my heart become strong enough to heal.

One week to go till I get to
Feel Jesus' touch again!
I really loved His gentle hands
And could hear every echoing "amen."

When I grow up I am going to
Make you so proud, mommy.
So stop your tears
And have some faith in me.

Let me hold your face in my gooey hands,
And hold on to me like you always do.
Stay in constant prayer and please,
Don't forget to thank "you know who."

Sometimes God allows us to go through things
To learn how to really trust Him.
I've learned this in my many years... Um..
Months... of wisdom.

So smile right now, momma!!!
Let's laugh together and play till we need rest!
Let my heart beat as I listen to yours while I fall asleep
In the safest place in this world... On my momma's chest.

Love Micah - 5 1/2 months old and wise beyond his... "years" :)
