My Baby Girl
Right from the start
You stole my heart
It was love at first sight
I was full of delight
You were like no other
The reason I was now a mother
From the moment you were placed in my arm
I promised to protect you from harm
I would risk my life for you
But I bet you already knew
You were beautiful, perfect and oh so tiny
But there were many nights when you were whiny
For nine months I was oh so sick
But you were worth every risk
It took awhile for you to grow hair
For months there was just peach fuzz there
You cooed and you giggled
You squirmed and you wiggled
Your smile so bright
You lit up the night
Your eyes a beautiful shade of blue
How could I resist the urge to hold you?
My baby girl
My whole world
