Twas the night before induction
and as they prepared,
Jen was excited
and Sher a bit scared
They'll toss and they'll turn
about in their beds,
while visions of a healthy baby
will dance in their heads.
Socks and oneies
and diapers galore
were stuffed in their suitcases
and set by the door.
Blanket knit by Mommy
folded with care
knowing that Baby
soon would be there.
Faces were washed
and teeth were brushed white
the kids were tucked in
and told to sleep tight.
Tomorrow's a big day
it will be like no other.
You'll stay with Grandma Helen,
then you'll meet Baby Butter.
Good night little darlings
in the morning you can play.
Say your prayers to God
that everything will be okay.
Now go to sleep, go to sleep,
go to sleep all!
Tomorrow's induction day
and we'll keep in touch with y'all.
Sending you my prayers and love. Excitement fills my heart and I can't wait to meet this little one!!!

ReplyDeleteWhen at night you go to sleep
ReplyDeleteFourteen angels watch do keep;
Two your head are guarding,
Two your feet are guiding;
Two are on your right hand,
Two are on your left hand.
Two who warmly cover you,
Two who o'er you hover.
Two to whom 'tis give
To guide your steps to heaven.
Sleeping softly, then it seems
Heaven enters in your dreams;
Angels however round you,
Whesp'ring they have found you.
Two are sweetly singing,
Two are Garlands bringing,
Strewing you with roses
As your soul reposes.
God will not forsake you
When dawn at last will wake you.
Jen,
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and are excited to find out about baby! Sending good wishes!
