In the blink of an eye
Time flies by
The baby you behold
Possibilities unfold
You hang on her every coo and smile
Feet hit the ground
As she toddles around
Energy boundless
The house is always a mess
But you cherish every song and story time
Spreading her wings
Horseback and dance, her heart sings
Her passions unfold
God broke the mold
Because she’s one of a kind
What a privilege to witness
Every moment, each success
And when you stumble and fall
Or need advice or just to bawl
I’ll always be there
Counting all your dreams and abilities
Is an impossibility
Like trying to number all the stars in the sky
But as you spread your wings and fly, little butterfly
I’m cheering you on with a tear in my eye
Proud of the young woman you’ve become
Prayerful for your life and mission to come
Thrilled at the journey so far
Always loving you for who YOU are
My precious daughter on your 14th birthday…
Love you more! xoxo
Mom
