For Lily
Note about poem: My mom wrote this beautiful poem for me + ba-doo is what I used to call Barney. I am 10 and only just joined. I hope you enjoy my poetry.
Chubby arms that held me tight;
The one I rocked to sleep each night.
Tiny voice asking for "ba-doo";
My little girl, how I love you!
Starting school, so scared but strong;
I knew you'd well all along.
The whole world in your eyes of blue;
Your sweetness charmed just like I knew.
Coming home awash with tears;
I hope I helped allay your fears.
Growing up, so big and tall;
If I blink, I fear I'll miss it all.
Goodbye to all those little toys;
Bring on the gossip about boys.
You won't need me someday, maybe;
But you know you'll always be my baby.
