JENNA

"Cherish these moments" says most passer-bys
How could I not when I look in her eyes

From barely a handful to now 14 pounds
Already outgrown all her cute hand-me-downs

Her crying and colic are just reminders
Of how much she needs me, and yes I am hers

She now owns my heart and I'll always be there
From spit-up to walking to cutting her hair

I've got new respect for my parents thus far
Calming my fear even killing monsters

Nothing prepaired me for how I would feel
Overflowing emotion beyond what was real

God gave me a gift I could never deserve
and I'll love her forever.  It's a promise I'll serve
