i have the best job

"Bankers" by Carol Lynn Pearson

He works at the bank
And has a large desk
And people listen when he talks.

And he takes good care
Of his charges:
Money, certificates
Stocks.

And she stays home
Unnoticed
And every day
Tends treasures
That outshine all the gold
In Fort Knox.


It has been an interesting transition going from attending school and working these last 9 years of my life to being a stay-at-home mom of a beautiful baby girl. Some days I feel guilty for not being a "bread-winner" alongside my husband...but when I look into Gracie Elaine's eyes and attend to her every need (for she relies on me and Justin for just about everything - fancy that)....I couldn't imagine being anywhere else but here with her. It's amazing how much love I have in my heart for such a tiny little being! And what's more, it's amazing how much more love is in our home because of her. I married Justin because I loved him more than anything or anyone I had ever loved before....but my love for him has increased ten fold since giving birth to our little chica. I will tend to this little treasure for the rest of my life. She is mine and I am smitten!
