I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart. Our life together has just begun, You're part of me my little one. As mother with child, each day I grew, 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 first steps and skinned knees, Like bedtime stories and ABC's. I thought of things you'd want to know, Like how birds fly and flowers grow. I thought of lessons I'd need to share, Like standing tall and playing fair. When I first saw your precious face, I prayed your life be touched with grace. I thanked the angels from above, And promised you unending love. Each night I lay you down to sleep, I gently kiss your head and cheek. I count your little fingers and toes, I memorize your eyes and nose. I linger at your nursery door, Awed each day I love you more. Through misty eyes, I dim the light, I whisper "I love you" every night. I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart. As mother and child our journey's begun, My heart's yours forever my little one. © by Teri Harrison DADDY'S HEART When I heard the news of you, I did the things most Daddies do. I opened up my heart so wide, For you to have a place inside. As each day passed I'd think of you, I'd watch you grow, I was expecting too! I'd try to imagine the person you'd be, Would you look or act like me? I thought of the things that we would do, The times we'd share, just us two. I would give you piggy back rides, Push your swing and watch you slide. I would teach you how to ride a bike, Catch your first ball and throw your first strike. I would hold your hand in mine, Be your protector, strong yet kind. I would be your hero and friend, Give love and advice on which you'd depend. I will always remember the day you were born, I cradled a miracle, small and warm. What words I had were scarce and few, A tear and a smile were the best I could do. Life gave me a moment, precious and rare, Bursting with pride, excitement and care. I promised you then, all that I had, See, you were my child and I was your dad. When I heard the news of you, I did the things most Daddies do. I opened up my heart so wide, Where you will always have a place inside. © by Teri Harrison |
