My Eternity



Although forty years have I walked the Earth,
Through family triumphs and pain,
I have so much to give to thee,
But so little time left in our eternity.

I love each child more than
Love itself.
 You are my soul, my life, my friend.
But so little time left in our eternity.

So with wisdom banished 
For today,
I have to declare,
Surprise!  I'm pregnant!
So little time left in our eternity,
But now more happiness to share! 





A prompt from Jenny Matlock over at her wonderful blog.  We had 100 words plus the prompt (in bold) to use this week.  Click on the button to join the Saturday Centus or view other entries.  Also click HERE to mix up the memes a little...you'll understand when you look!
