Tabitha's Poem(just threw together, hope it makes sense)

This is for my oldest daughter. I'll be posting one for the other two hopefully tomorrow!

The day you were born
My heart was torn.
The tears I shed
Were fear and dread.

The day you spoke
The tears caused me to choke.
“Mama” the sweetest thing
I could almost sing.

The day you walked
The doors were locked.
I dreaded that day
For the rest of the time I had to pray.

The day you started school.
You thought you were so cool.
I cried like a baby,
And worried about you all day.

One day soon you will leave the nest
I’ll never get any rest.
This world is tough
Did I teach you enough?

Did I show you how to love
And to pray to God above?
Did I teach you to cook,
Or to read your own child a book.

The worries I have for you
Just shows my love is true.
God gave me you first.
Because he knew in me you would trust.

When I’m gone will you know
That I did everything to show.
That I would love you always
And in many different ways!
