Poem
the first time the doctor said to me you're going to be a mom the first time I felt my child stir in my womb the first time I looked at her when they placed her on my stomach the first time she smiled at me and I knew it was not gas her first tooth, her first step the first time she said "Mama" her first sleep over and I called every hour to see if she wanted to come home her first pajama party and she would not allow me in the room her first crush, her first heartbreak and we talked about boys over ice cream her first menstrual cycle and I gave her that talk about the birds and the bees the time we went shopping for her first bra and she chose the one with the little pink bow on the front just like I did her first car date and I had more information on that boy than the FBI her first prom and I took so many pictures that my husband snatched the camera out of my hands the first night she was gone away to college and I cried and worried all night until she called me in the morning and told me how great everything was the first time she told me she was seriously in love and asked for my sage advice the first time I meet the young man, who I thought was taking away my baby and found out he was perfect for her the first time she told me she was getting married and she showed me the engagement ring and we both jumped up and down with glee the first time I saw her in her wedding gown and I couldn't speak over the lump in my throat the first time she told me she was pregnant and she was so scared and excited at the same time the first time she placed my granddaughter in my arms she looked at me, kissed my cheek and said "Mommy I love you and I pray that I will be as great a mom to my child as you were to me" the first time I realized that this vibrant, intelligent young woman is the essence of me, a legacy that will continue on in my grandchild the first time I said, "Thank you God, we did good".
