My Daughter

Oh, how you have grown. You were so tiny when we brought you home, the perfect little piece of heaven. I watched you playing on the floor, working diligently to get to the toy a mere few inches away. Now you move as graceful as a swan, long beautiful legs carry you freely. As you move swiftly into womanhood, I long for your early days with eyes full of wonder and yearning. I want to teach you all I have learned and to shield you with myself. Yet, I know eventually I will have to let you go. Until then, I want to let you know I love you and I will always be your Momma.
