A child-rich life by Wendy G
Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry

In my heart I treasure words of love beyond all measure:

       "Love you to the moon and back! " I'm told – 

       Oh, laughing words of pure delight …

       Valued, precious hugs, worth more than gold …

       Each day a gift, from morn till night.

Yet, I know that as my time draws near,

Over yonder I must surely go …

Up to my Father, so kind and dear,

       To meet the One I long to know –

       Our Lord, watching o’er me here below.

Thankful for times with family –

He's gifted a child-rich life to me …

Each day I'm moved by the love I see. 

       Make the most of each hour, I say …

       Occasions are precious, share time with each,

       Or speak about His grace, or pray,

      No one’s too far for love to reach!

And as I see my loved ones grow,

Noting how fast my days will pass –

Deep joy with them makes my face glow.

       But I, one day, will fade like grass

       And time and life I soon will lack …

       Children, know I love you just as He does –

      Kids, I love you to the moon and back!

Author Notes
(With thanks to Karenina who used the beautiful expression ''a child-rich life'' in her review of one of my stories.)
I have adjusted the end rhymes to suit the differing stanza sizes.

We always have such fun with the little ones, each claiming to love the other more ... until one reaches the ultimate "I love you to the moon and back!" which is unbeatable!
