Nine Times
NINE TIMES
i did not fathom ever loving someone so much
newborn child of mine
newborn child
what to do with you
will i be strong enough to be what you need
i cried nine times more than she
then it dawned on me
she is MY child and it ain't rocket science
she is MY child and it that hard to please her needs
nine times i laughed over my tears
nine times i jumped for joy when she learned something new
she is nine years old and i am just in shock
endless smiles when i hear her sarcastic wit
her sassy wardrobe that i only encourage her to partake with
her social skills are nine times stronger than her peers
she is wiser than her years
she is blessed with her grandmother and her great grandmother
who love her so
she is loved nine times more than she knows
she is loved nine times more everyday
she is outspoken she acts shy
she loves to dance
can't imagine why
newborn nine years ago
love her nine times more ... she just don't know
