Each day my beautiful child
I watch you sprout and
grow
as you learn about life's
joys and sorrows
I learn the depth of love.
The endless energy and
your quicksilver smile
you unselfishly bestow
send tiny arrows spewing
forth
to rain unmercifully upon
my heart.
Each night as you snuggle
near
and comfort you attain
I say a special prayer
of thanks
that once again you are
safe from harm
and lying within my arms.

my firstborn child)
