Poor... with a Legacy to leave.

It's been a while since I have posted.  I am the worst blogger ever! :)

I am a stay at home mother.  If you are then you know all too well that finances get tighter than wanted at times.  There are things that we have to deny our children. They may be material things or things of this world but things that they want nevertheless. 

I found this little statement today and have no idea who the author is.  It put things into perspective and made me smile with a tear in my eye!

So here it is!  Enjoy!

The Legacy

She could not give her children gold So she gave them faith to have and hold. She could not give them royal birth ... A name renowned throughout the earth. But she gave them seeds and garden spot And shade trees when the sun was hot. She could not give a silver spoon Or servants waiting night and noon. She gave them love and a listening ear. And told them God was always near. She could not give them ocean trips Aboard majestic sailing ships. But she gave them books and quiet time, Adventures found in prose and rhyme. She could not give them worldly things But what she gave was fit for kings. For with her faith and books and sod She made each child aware of God.

Blessings,
