My Beautiful Family

i thank you God for most this amazing

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

If there is anything I want for Christmas, its to keep my three  children, Gracie Annabelle, Lillian Elise, and Ivan Dean, under my care and in my arms, healthy, and to be able to make them happy. To continue to love their father, Casey, even more than ever and to hold him each night for many years to come. These are the true gifts that God gives us. I want for nothing else.
