'Twas the Night Before a Trip....

And all through the halls,

All the creatures were stirring,

Shaking ceilings and walls.

Mommy was packing 

And checking her list

To make sure nothing was left amiss.

The house looked as if a tornado had hit

With crumbs on the floor

And nowhere left to sit.

The kids were happily playing a game

Pretending to fly to NY on a plane

Southwest was their airline of choice, of course

For they had heard stories from a reliable source

Tears streamed quietly from momma's eyes

She hated the part where they all said goodbye 

But their sweet little baby needed specialty care

There's a reason they call her a "mama bear"

So whatever is needed, whatever the cost may be

We will get the baby to NY to be seen

And even though mommy can only be in one place

Her heart and her love multiply; it's a grace.

Early tomorrow we will catch our flight 

So to all: please keep praying! And have a great night!
