Have I Ever Told You?

Have I ever told you

that you teach me to laugh

You laugh often. You make me laugh. And it is good.

Have I ever told you 

that because of you, I am learning to be patient

So that your memories will always be sweet ones.

Have I ever told you

that you are teaching me the value of five minutes

A busy mommy can get anything done when given just a few free minutes.

Have I ever told you 

that you inspire me to be kind 

So that you will learn to care about others.

Have I ever told you

that you bring me unsurpassable joy

Your smiles are medicine to my soul.

Have I ever told you

that you are teaching me the value of good rest

Play hard, sleep hard.

Have I ever told you 

that you inspire me to have fun

And the worries of Momma's day just seem to drift away.

Have I ever told you 

that you are teaching me to never take myself too seriously

Life with you is just too much fun to waste a minute with worry.

Have I ever told you

that just when I think I love you the most, 

I realize in a minute that I love you even more.
