I loved you from the very start,
As mother with child, each day I
grew, Like first steps and skinned
knees,
I thought of lessons I'd need to
share, I thanked the angels from
above,
I count your little fingers and
toes,
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
As mother and child our journey's
begun,

You stole my breath, embraced my
heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.
My mind was filled with thoughts of
you.
I'd daydream of the things we'd
share,
Like late-night bottles and teddy
bears.
Like bedtime stories and ABCs.
I thought of things you'd want to
know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with
grace.
And promised you unending love.
Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
I whisper "I love you" every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my
heart.
My heart's yours forever my
little one.
