To My Daughter,
I want you to know that I have loved you my whole life
I have felt you here inside of me for years
I have known I would be your mother before I knew I would be a wife
Knowing I would one day get to meet you has helped me conquer all my fears.

I want you to know I love your father
And I chose him for a very special cause
Because I knew he would love you, or else I wouldn't even bother
And I chose him because he knew he wanted you, he didn't even have to pause

I want to say I am sorry, for the planet that we have left you
For the damage we have done
For the ***** skies that were once bright blue
For the years of repairs that we have not even begun

I want to say I will be here
For the first heartbreak, and the many that come after
For the hopes that will disappear
For the tears that will hopefully be followed by laughter

I want to know you someday
But for now I have to make my life good enough for you
Because right now mommy is just a kid herself, not a mother in any way
But I am dancing right on through...
because I can't wait to meet you
