The Perfect Day

It was a day like no other, The day I became a Mother. Nothing else even compares To have God answer my prayers. An Angel sent from up above, Who was conceived out of so much love. She's so precious and so very sweet, All the way from her head to her feet. Ten little fingers and ten little toes, Pretty blue eyes and the cutest nose. And as we shared our very first touch, I knew I'd love her so very much. For when I held her that very first time, I had never felt so much alive. No feeling like it anywhere on Earth, Seeing this new life, giving birth. Such a joyous day, yet scary too, Becoming "Mommy" was all so new. Having doubts and so many fears, To raise this child for eighteen years. To keep her safe, away from harm, Making her secure within my arms. She's the love of my life, made it complete, Filled in the emptiness, makes my heart beat. She's my breath, my soul and my song, Without her I could not go on. There's a special bond that we share, Which these days seems so rare. Mothers and Daughters aren't as close, No communication, acting like ghosts. But what we have will never fade, Keeping the trust that we made, Never forgetting to always say, "I love you" every day. To me, she's perfect in every way, Making that the most perfect day. Stephanie Elaine, my sweetheart, We will never, ever be apart. (My Daughter 3/1998)
