Growing Up
The moment I held you in my arms
new you were mine with my heart and soul.
Your hands so tiny and delicate,
I never wanted to let them go.
As you grew these are the hands that said goodbye,
the words I dreaded for the longest time.
Your deep blue eyes,
that told a story of a innocent young little girl.
As you grew these are the eyes that began to get blind,
for the stories began to come lies.
Your feet so small and perfect,
as you began your first steps.
As you grew these are the feet that walked away,
when things went wrong and not your way.
Your mouth so perfectly small,
as you whispered your first word mama.
As you grew this is the mouth that learned new words,
ones that were inapropriate and uncalled for.
Your ears so tiny on the side of your face,
as they listen to sounds around the room.
As you grew these are the ears that only listened to things about you,
for nothing else mattered accept for you.
As I look back on the first day I held you,
I would not change a single thing.
You are special in every way,
and that is why I love you!
