There's gonna be a weddin'

Because Wedding Weeks make me a tad on the

psycho side of life.... I will post the poem that my

children had to see everyday and return to

post July and August and Weddings OH MY!

(hey kids... I love you)

Good Roots

Help me to give my children good roots God.

As I work with my plants I see that

the sturdiest, and those which bear most freely,

are those whose roots go deep, gripping rich soil;

they have a base from which they

and grow tall and beautiful and sound.

Let this household furnish that

kind of soil for my family, God.

Enriched with good music, good books

good talk, good taste,

But above all, goodness of action.

So that those who come here feel welcome,

and those who leave here feel warm.

And those who live here know,

in every fiber of their beings,

that they belong to people who,

for all of our faults, are good people.

People of decency and honor, who would

not willingly hurt or cheat any living thing.

Let my children grow freely, God,

In whatever direction their nature directs.

But give them root strength, too.

So that they will never deviate

too far from their own beginnings.

Help me to give my children good roots.
