EVERY THING

Everything was
used,
enjoyed,
eaten,
played with,
opened,
fingerprinted.


Every towel.
Every blanket.
Every bed.
Every inch of floor.
Every yard toy.
Every door.
Every yogurt.
Every peach.

Everything.


Energy, Everywhere.
Handprints, Everywhere.
Pretending, Exploring, Investigating, Creating. 
It was Everywhere.

Life lived at its fullest.
Excitement in a treehouse, 
a sandbox, 
a raspberry patch, 
the corn bin,
a clue hunt, 
a scavenger hunt.
driving the 4 wheeler.

Fun in new yard games, 
relaxing with a movie, 
going to town for pancakes.

Getting overtired playing with cousins, 
upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside.

Loving the campfire and smores and 
roasting "every" marshmellow.  
Everyday, fishing, and
everyday, wanting more fishing!
Bug bites, ugh, by the hundreds,
Everywhere.


Everyday.
The wonderful sound of childen's feet. 
Voices warming my heart.
Little hands around my neck.
A soft behind on my lap.

Fathers showing discipline and love.
Everyday.



My three daughters,
Now mothers, gifted and beautiful.
Everyday.

My ears gifted to conversations
wonderful and loving.

Every life.

A gift.


Surrounded.
Everyday.
Everywhere.
Everything.
By HIS favor and HIS shield.

Count your blessings.
Everyday.
They are
Everywhere.
