SELAMAT ULANG TAHUN ANAKKU

MOTHER'S HEART


I LOVED U FROM THE VERY START,
YOU STOLE MY BREATH , EMBRACED MY HEART.
OUR, LIFE TOGETHER HAS JUST BEGUN
YOU ARE 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,

I THOUGHT OF LESSON 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 GRACED,
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 U" EVERY NIGHT
I LOVED U FROM THE VERY START,
YOU STOLE MY BREATH, EMBRACED MY HEART.
AS MOTHER AND CHILD OUR JOURNEYS BEGIN
MY HEART'S YOUR FOREVER LITTLE
