To Heal a Heart

I sit here by the waterside
Watching the river flow
Dreaming of the day when you were born
To me that day does not seem so long ago .
My heart swooned when you took your first step
Then melted with your first word
You singing your first nursery rhyme 
The sweetest sound I have ever heard .
I have watched you grow and I've felt such pride
My heart overflows with love for you
The joy we've shared and the tears we've cried
Are so many yet so few
I would never trade a moment 
Of anything we've ever done 
but darling , My heart is telling me 
The best is yet to come.

Thank you Tim . F.J. has a beautiful family and I wanted to do her contest justice . I have never been blessed with children but I'm hoping this is how a parent would feel.
