All Because

All Because a Baby Fussed

I woke up early this morning,

far earlier than I wanted to

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I burned my fingers

on a too-hot bottle of formula

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I smell like nasty wipes, sour formula,

and spit up

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I didn't talk to my husband all morning,

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I went into the bathroom

and cried until my head hurt,

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I prayed to God

for strength today,

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I told Him I couldn't handle

things,

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I walked over to a playpen

All Because a Baby Fussed.

My neck was hugged with tiny hands,

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I heard a lot of little sighs

and endearing little snores

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I held my daughter close to me

and thanked God for her today

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I realized God had blessed my life

All Because a Baby Fussed.

I knew today that God was with me

and kept me in His care

All Because a Baby Fussed.

Next time when my days goes wrong

and things just get to tough

I'll pray that God would touch my heart

and let MY Baby Fuss.
