Precious Gift

© Sherri Lawrence

When times seem too hard to bear & I l feel like giving up

I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such

The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born

Is a mother and daughter bind that can never be torn

With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above

I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love

You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose

You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose

You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child

You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile

I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best

Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest

I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend

Your are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given

With All My Love,

Mommy

My big baby girl is 3 years old today. It seems just like yesterday that I brought her home from the hospital.  I miss all the days we spent cuddled in bed nursing. Every day I look at her and my chest hurts from all the love I have for her. She's so clever and active, always ahead for her age. One day I'll wake up and she will grown with kids of her own.  I hope that she knows how much I love her. She's the most precious thing to me and I'm so lucky to be her mom.

I baked her a castle cake today for her birthday.  Two tiers, each two layers, pink frosting, turetts, and all.  She loved it and it made my heart so happy to see her so excited.  I'll have to post pictures later.  They are on my sister's phone and it's sooo much trouble to e-mail them to me.
