Little hands
Little feet
We have created
Run, run, run
Between us, around us
Yell, cry, fight, and whine
I look to you
My anchor, my friend
And although weary and worn
We share this
Here and now
These moments of chaos and craze
You are my strength and I yours
Knowing we are in this
Together
And one day
And always
We again will be We

Author’s note: I wrote this poem for my husband. We love our boys dearly, but parenthood is a challenging thing, I tell ya! Cubbie has some back teeth coming in, so this past week has been tough. Needless to say, my baby fever for a third is OVER! ;-)

Hee hee, baby desire -gone? It may come back. I'm just saying.
Beautiful photo and poem.
@ Traci - you are so funny!
@ Fireblossom -awww, thanks so much!
@ Brian - coming from you, the master poet! Thanks.
@ JW - ha, I haven't got much sleep in days between teething pain and Sprout's potty visits, so yeah, it ain't coming back anytime soon! :-)
Such a sweet poem...and sweet little feet too!!
Love LOVE your poem. I almost want to print it out and frame it...I am totally serious!
lovely and sweet piece...bkm
it's so good we can share the good and challenging things in life with the one we love..enjoyed reading this CM and LOVED LOVED LOVED the picture!!!!
Sweet! Just what life's all about.
Yes, parenting is hard. I don't think anyone wants to discourage you from having children when you are younger, but boy do I wish I had been given some kind of clue as to how hard it is! That being said, I do love and adore all 4 of my kids and I don't think you should rid yourself of baby fever just yet! :)
First- I love my kids feet. Probably nobody else though. ha ha... But the picture is so very precious.
And the poem. Perfection! :)
Beautifully expressed through both words and image.
Little ones are so precious but a drain in energy to be sure. Cherish them and "We"
Nice one for One Shot

Thanks for dropping by! Read through your posts and noticed your love for PSE! I have it too. Wondering if you wanted to get rid of those (subtle) boxes around your pics on your blog...let me know, I can help!
Thanks for following, I'm flattered that you like the look of my blog! I also have pics of all 3 kids' feet when they were babies on my kitchen wall. Adorable!
I was surprised as I read your poem to discover it was about being a parent with your husband, and not just about those adorable little feet! I bet your husband loves it...I wish I was as creative!
Those years of little feet pass way too quickly. Lovely that you honor that and acknowledge it as it's happening. Lovely poem!
Been there and tho it was long ago totally remember that. Nice job, good call. Thanks. Gay
I think it's wonderful that you never forget the "we" that made those little feet! After all, the marriage will go on long after those little pitter pattering feeties have left the house.
Awwww....so sweet.
The photos is great, and I really love the poem--especially the last line. Thanks for sharing!
Great poem and such a cute cute picture.
understood every word of that..we went for three though and dont regret it..that was a wonderful share..cheers pete
Well said. Mrs. MM and I are we as well. Great One Shot.
Aw, such a sweet love poem. And yes, you will, but in the meantime, enjoy the little hands and little feet. They get big so quickly.
Oh, please come photography my children. Please please!
See, even on bad days I still have baby fever...does that mean I really am not done? Who knows. The Lord does.
I love the poem, thanks for sharing it. We had to go to the outlet mall today to find cleats for #1 (he left his at the field last weekend) and while we were there we bought something else completely unplanned (don't tell Dave Ramsey). It is a sign that says "I love you not because you are perfect, but because you are perfect for me."
what an amazingly sweet poem. you can really feel the emotion in your words!
Lovely,sweet, endearing, poem. Yes parenthood,oh the joys,and the tiredness. My my little feet, my lads feet are hard to image ever being that small, years have gone by quickly, enjoy these days for they are precious and fleeting.

So enjoy the pics of the wee ones ...

Awww I love little feet! And what a cute poem...parenting definitely can be a challenge!
But really?? No more baby fever? Not even a tiny little bit? ;)
WOW! Simplicity is beautiful in films and words! Nicely done!
great pic and words. yes, parenting is very, very challenging and very, very rewarding at the same time!
hang in there! :)
I love the picture. This is a beautiful poem- I hope you have this framed! :)
Lovely pictures and cute poem :)
This is SO SO SO sweet :)
Yes, parenting is SO crazy, but it is wonderful knowing that you have someone to help you out and back you up and share in all of the wonderful insanity of parenting!
That is a beautiful poem. I love it. I think my favorite part was the author's note, however. I have a third and my baby fever is over FOREVER!!! Good luck keeping yours at bay!
