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!
This one is so sweet, I can't wait to read the others!
