A Mother's Love

For nine months I carried you beneath my heart Felt you growing and moveing, feeling such Joy Eagerly awiating your arrival, knowing you will soon The day you were born was filled with happiness As I held you in wonder, my little miracle, my little babe Counting toes and fingers, seeing your little face Love just bursting from my heart as I just gazed I watched you grow in time, first smile, first tooth Crawling, walking then running, always curious Holding your hand walikng you to school on the first day Taught you to ride a bike, picked you up when you fell Kissing the hurt away, just to see you smile that pretty smile Seeing you grow and mature, into a young adult Starting high school, learning to drive, dating Now here it is juinor year, one more year and your gone To test your wings, to fly away and learn even more new things I hope my love is enough to guide you on your way To give you that sense you can do anything you set out to do Always remember that I love you and you are my little one May 5th Written for my beautiful daughter
