I looked at you today
and saw the same beautiful eyes
that looked at me with love
when you were a baby.
I looked at you today
and saw the same beautiful mouth
that made me cry when you first smiled at me
when you were a baby.
It was not long ago
that I held you in my arms
long after you fell asleep
and I just kept rocking you all night long
I looked at you today
and saw my beautiful daughter
no longer a baby but a beautiful person
with a full range of emotions and feelings
and ideas and goals
Every day is exciting
as I continue to watch you grow
And I want you to always know that
in good and bad times I will love you
and that no matter what you do
or how you think or what you say
you can depend on my support, guidance
friendship and love every minute of every day
I love being your mother
