Keeping the door shut...

When our door is closed we see Masons progress and we are SO proud of how he is doing and this adorable little guy he is becoming. Sometimes we open our door we see other kids younger then Mason crawling, starting to talk, standing, much bigger in size...some walking or just the little giggle we dont hear from Mason yet. A Sadness, and a  little jealousy comes over me. Everyone tells me "DONT COMPARE, DONT COMPARE"  but I would like to say its easier said then done. I know these feelings are normal and hope one day these feelings will go away.    This is a poem that is dear to my heart that I read often... I think I posted it in my blogs before but I feel like sharing again.                
                                                             My face might be different

But my feelings the same

I laugh and I cry

And I take pride in my gains

I was sent here among you

To teach you to love

As god in the heavens

Looks down from above

To him I’m no different

His love knows no bounds

It’s those here among you

In cities and towns

That judge me by standards

That man has imparted

But this family I’ve chosen

Will help me get started

For I’m one of the children

So special and few

That came here to learn

The same lessons as you

That love is acceptance

It must come from the heart

We all have the same purpose

Though not the same start

The Lord gave me life

To live and embrace

And I’ll do as you do

But at my own pace.
