To My Daughter

E agerly we awaited our chance to hold you in our arms.
V oraciously you soak up all there is to learn in this world.
E asily our love for you turned our family of 2 into one of 3.
L ovely you are in appearance, grace, patience and heart. 
Y oung but ready to learn and to grow into a gorgeous woman.
N ever unloved you have always been our precious Snowflake!


Back and forth we gently rock. 
We have nowhere to go. 
Cuddling and singing,
Counting and giggling, 
Just the two of us.

Back and forth we pass the tea pot.
There is nowhere particular to be.
Dancing and skipping,
Adding and reading,
Just the two of us.

Back and forth we flip,
There are places to go, later.
Cartwheeling and jumping,
Multiplying and dividing,
Just the two of us.

Back and forth we drive,
There is always somewhere to be.
Discussing and remembering,
Shopping and packing,
It is rarely just the two of us.

Down the aisle you walk,
You are going somewhere special.
Radiant and ever lovely,
Smiling and making promises.
It is no longer the 2 us, it is
The two of you.
 

Little Piglet, as I celebrate St. Pat's Day and my birthday I feel so privileged to be your mother and to be able to celebrate my special day with you and daddy.  Thank you for all the joy and love you fill our home with and for being here and being you on my special.  I love you very much!
