The years of my little girl.
First Year:
I hold you for the very first time in my arms,
your blue eyes looking right through me.
You breathe slowly as you lay on my chest,
right before you close your eyes and rest.
Year 3:
Look at all those teeth!
Now all you want to do is eat.
You have learned so much already,
just keep going steady.
Year 6:
Keep your head up,
Don't look down.
Year 11:
Run the race,
That's the look of determination on your face.
You try,
I cry tears of joy...
Look at my little girl,
My little thrill!
Year 16:
You're growing up so fast,
I just hope the memories last forever...
Year 18:
I put that tape in of your favorite show,
A reminder that I had to let go.
Year 20:
I'm alone,
Until you come home.
Year 25:
My little girl,
isn't a little girl anymore.
You've got your own family now....
I am so proud.
