I remember the first day
I saw you- chubby angelic face
with pizza smudges
white blond hair- tangled, out of place

you crawled up to me
and took my heart in your hand
not blood of my bood- yet mine
someday you'll understand

seventeen suddenly turned "mommy"
I was scared to say the least
what if I did something wrong?
but your smile conquered fear's beast

I've watched you with happy sadness
my little princess is growing up
time passes so fast it's hard to believe
pretty soon you'll think boys and make-up

how do you explain all this
to a child just today turning eight?
you say happy birthday
with tears in your eyes and wait

someday I'll tell you the story
of how you took my heart in your hand
not blood of my blood- yet mine
hopefully then, you'll understand


12 March 2000 for my lil princess

With words like these
How can she not
But understand
And love her mommy lots and lots!

Wonderful and moving. She will understand. Probably already does.

heater, lost, michael, the cat .... thanks for your replies i really appreciate em  

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

Very touching.. I'm sure your princess already understands whose there for her and how much you care...

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
