MADISENS AND SYDNEYS BAPTISMS

I DECIDED TO POST THESE TOGETHER SINCE MY GIRLS ARE ONLY 18 MONTHS APART. THEY WERE SUCH SPECIAL DAYS FOR OUR FAMILY.
MADISEN IRIS JOHNSON BAPTIZED AUGUST 4, 2007 BY HER DAD.


THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL PICTURE OF JAY WITH HIS GRANDPA BARNEY. HE DIED SHORTLY AFTER THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT MADISENS BAPTISM. HE WAS SUCH A SPECIAL PERSON AND WE MISS HIM SO MUCH.


MADISEN AND BRADY AND MADISEN AND SYDNEY.

THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL POEM THAT I WROTE FOR MADISEN ON HER BAPITSM DAY THAT WAS PRINTED IN HER PROGRAM.

FOR MADISEN:

YOU WERE MY FIRST LITTLE ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE-
ONE LOOK AT YOU AND I WAS FILLED WITH SUCH LOVE.

I HAD NEVER BEEN SO PROTECTIVE OF ANYTHING BEFORE-
AND I REMEMBER THINKING "I COULD NOT LOVE ANYTHING MORE."

NOW EIGHT YEARS HAS COME AND GONE SO FAST,
YOU ARE NO LONGER MY BABY-THATS ALL IN THE PAST.

YET I CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO HOLD YOU SO TIGHT
AS I WATCH YOU SLEEP PEACEFULLY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.

GOD HAS ENTRUSTED ME TO CARE FOR YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART
I MADE A SOLEMN PROMISE TO HIM I WOULD DO MY PART.

BUT WHEN I THINK OF THIS TASK, I SHED A TEAR-
FOR FAILING YOU IS MY BIGGEST FEAR.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP-I'LL ENDURE TO THE END-
EVEN FROM HEAVEN ETERNAL KISSES I'LL SEND.

FOR THE YEARS PASS SO QUICKLY AND THOUGH I CAN'T STOP TIME
I WILL NEVER STOP SAYING "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE MINE."

SWEET SYDNEY IN HER BEAUTIFUL DRESS.

MY POEM FOR SYDNEY:

MY BLUE EYED GIRL THAT I LOVE SO DEAR,

WE HAVE SUCH A SPECIAL BOND-I ALWAYS NEED YOU NEAR.

YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME OF PATIENCE, KINDNESS, AND STRENGTH.

TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE-YOU GO TO SUCH LENGTHS.

I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT-

GLOWING FROM WITHIN YOU ARE MY ETERNAL LIGHT.

I FEEL SO BLESSED THAT YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER-I SAY A PRAYER EACH DAY-

TO GUIDE YOU AND PROTECT YOU IN EVERY WAY.

AND BEING YOUR MOM-IT JUST FEELS SO RIGHT.

FOR WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU SYDNEY YOU ARE MY LIFE.
