Youngest One

At first site face to face Came into this world and found your place Over the years I've watched you grow Not long enough or very slow Long silky hair colored honey If I had it I'd give all my money And would walk over a thousand miles To get a glimpse of that beautiful smile The youngest one of my lttle pack In beauty nothing do you lack Hands of protection caress your skin Awed by your essence soaking it all in So pure and innocent a vulnerable clean slate All my heart and soul you're here to take Willingly though I give it to you A love so deep, loyal and true The kind that stands the test of time As I marvel at Gods gift of mine The two before you who have to wait To see the outcome of your fate With eyes bright blue color of the sky Changing colors by mood or when you cry Watching as you started to crawl A place inside not wanting you to grow at all Before I knew it you began to talk Then started to run before you walked Oh how quickly you learned to ride a bike Even though you were such a little tyke I blinked and all of a sudden you're ten Knowing all along that time will win And now as I move this pen of mine How it really does blow my mind A teenager now almost grown Deep down my beating heart lets out a moan To know pretty soon out the door you'll go Embark on the world and do your own show Great things are ahead for you My baby girl with eyes so blue When you're an adult and my job is done How my love will never stop for my youngest one March 2009
