Growing with your firstborn

My daughter, you arrived by my side

On one warm summer July day

I cradled you in my arms

Your eyes had much to say.

That day the story began,

Of my new little baby girl

Who I knew depended on me,

To love and guide her in this vast world.

You held a serious expression at times,

I worked on lifting your concerns,

We soon laughed and had our fun.

And happiness almost always won.

I continued my new mother duties,

As you learned more about the world

Small and cuddly, sometimes you’d help me see

That I also learned, I know you agree.

Over the years, we followed life’s path,

And enjoyed family, friends, and each other.

We’ve stayed close and still have our chuckles,

And laughed on this journey of daughter and Mother.

My daughter, I’ve watched you grow,

To a woman of talent and power

Who embraces life more and more each year,

And keeps love and family close with utmost care.

You graciously think of everyone,

And oversee we are safe and sound.

Grateful and proud that I’m your Mom, and I get to work with you :)

I love you so much, and I’m here for you whenever you want me around!
