Motherhood

I already knew I loved you like no love I’d ever felt,
But no one could’ve prepared me for how my heart would melt.

The first time that I held you and your little eyes met mine,
It was like we’d been together bound by love for a lifetime.

I am so blessed to be your Mummy and I will cherish this special role,
And the deep love that I feel for you will live forever in my soul.
You are already growing up right before my very eyes,
And every little thing you do makes my heart burst with pride.

There’s nothing you could do that could change the way I feel,
And I thank you for being my daughter and for making my heart heal.
