You
Everyday with you
I learn something new

They don’t tell you about the hard days
When your down to your last piece of patience

Its not your fault
Nor mine;
This is something new

I am thankful for you and all that you do
But they really don’t tell you about the hard days

When you can't fall asleep
When you refuse to eat

Why wont you let me brush your hair
Can you put on your underwear?
I’ve been chasing you around days

Help me, let me catch up

You’re growing taller and getting smarter

Your training my brain
Testing my restraint

I feel that I am failing you,
I feel you could do better without me, your mommy
But everyday with you,
I learn something new

Because they do tell you about the good days
But never go in depth

From the “mommy I love you" down to the kisses and hugs
You make the bad days seem not so tough
when your smile pokes through the 3 year old " I'm grown" attitude

So we can stay up tonight
maybe share a midnight treat

We can brush your hair in the morning
or tie it up

Who needs underwear
Mommy doesn’t care

Everyday with you
I learn something new

Good days or bad days
I will always love you
No matter what they tell me
Everyday is a new day for me and you

I'd rather learn something new then have never met you
