Over the Moon

I remember when you first lifted your head, Expanding your sight beyond me. Eyes wide with curiosity. I remember when you crawled full speed, Exploring the world before you. Hands dirty from touching everything. I remember when you could walk, Then run, tearing through the neighborhood. Feet moved like lightning. I remember when you asked me questions about life, Girls are curious creatures. From crushes, to dating, then kissing. I remember when you mustered the courage to marry, Vows of responsibility spoken from your heart. Children of your own following closely. I remember when you told me you were proud, Trying in vain to hide the tears that welled in my eyes. Then you kissed my cheek and said thanks Mommy.
