It Was Just

It was just the other day when you were born When your father cut the umbilical cord when I heard your first cry When I held you in my arms for the first time to feed you When I heard your first burp When I laid you on my chest to sing you to sleep When I brushed your long brown curly hair When I changed your first diaper Time has past and memories have been formed to have me realize that time has flown by You are about graduate high school You have learned to keep positive friends You have chosen to surrender your life to Christ You have joined the choir without me even asking if you wanted to You have decided not be the average teenager but take the challenge of studying Chinese You have decided to keep your virginity even though it's not the popular thing to do watching all of these transitions before my eyes leaves me with gratification that GOD saw fit for me to experience all of these wonderful stages of your life and to that I say THANK YOU GOD may you see favor upon me for me to see this wonderful gift obtain a carrier that she desires, see her walk down the isle with a God fearing man and allow me to become a grandmother with your blessings IF IT IS YOUR WILL

Thank you it's so wonderful be able to express in words what I don't take for granted and others may stop and realize after reading this they won't either. Have a wonderful week as well!
