Handful of Weeds


Four years old with dirt on my face, I'd been out in the yard pickin' dandelions all day
I burst through the front door when I'd gathered enough, to give to my mom to show her my love
Then she held out her hand and looked down at me, she said "I've never seen flowers as beautiful as these"

She's the one who told me about Jesus
She's the one who taught me to sing
She deserves an arm full of roses
But she's satisfied with a handful of weeds.

(Jeff & Sherri Easter)

Deanna picked these leaves and greenery for me and had to take me outside to surprise me. She was so proud of them and wanted me to quickly put them in water so they would grow nice and tall. It's definitely the thought that counts and she is so proud to see them displayed in their very own vase for all to see. Deanna, Mommy's more than satisfied with a handful of weeds!
