I WOULD GATHER CHILDREN Some would gather money
Along the path of life
Some would gather roses,
And rest from worldly strife.
But I would gather children
From among the thorns of sin,
I would seek a golden curl,
And a freckled, toothless grin.
For money cannot enter
In that land of endless day,
And roses that are gathered
Soon will wilt along the way.
But oh, the laughing children,
As I cross the sunset sea,
And the gates swing wide to heaven,
I can take them in with me!

Hi,
Just wanted to stop by and say "hi" and thank you for joining the friends at A Place Called Simplicity...
I see you live in Colorado too! That's neat! Don't you love it here? We have been here 4-1/2 years and our only regret is that we didn't get here sooner!
Off to put my babies in the tub...they had their first bath yesterday (they only were splashed over with a cup or two of water sitting in a bare tub in the orphanage) but ya' know here we sit them in water and they can splash all they want...they LOVED it - super fun!!
Anyway, blessings from our home to yours...Linny
PS Love your title Love2BMom...it sounds like me - nothing better in the world than being a MOM!! Yippee Jesus!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this poem. I need to copy it and place it with all the other verses, sayings, etc that I have hung around the house! How are you doing?
How beautiful!!!!! May I post this on my blog??
I love the poem!!! It is for me autobiographical, but I guess you know that?!!
So good to see the new photos up too.
