There's a child
Staring from my bed
As I dry my hair
I start to contemplate

"How did I become this
And bring her into my world
Life was once so misrerable
Without my little girl"

She's such a beautiful child
And has her father's face
Even if she is a Half cast
No one can prejudge this face

She's my ray of rainbow
In this dark old world
In the darkest ocean
She would be a shining pearl

Still she looks at me,
her eyes shining a bottle green
and when I pick her up
She smiles and kisses me

I love my little Emily Ann
And one day you all will see
It doesn't matter I'm only 19
cos she means everything to me

Dirty diapers, teething rings,
Little bunnies and scary dreams.
Up all night while fevers hot,
Flamming bottoms and whooping cough.

The brightest eyes with aligator tears,
A mothers kiss soothes every fear.
A little pout, a sour face,
To get thier way, you will be graced.

The brightest smile to make your day,
A silly laugh, so bright and gay.
A little child whos yours from birth,
Theres no better gift upon this earth.


Lovely poem and a great tribute to your daughter. It is plain that she is the light of your life. I have 3 of my own and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

This is beautiful.  You shine with love and honor for your little girl, I loved reading this one. Age means nothing when it comes to motherhood, I know women in their 40's who are poor mothers and I've seen 16 yr. olds who shower their babies with all the attention they could want.  It's the heart that is mature with love.  This was nice, and refreshing.

This was really good...Such a wonderful poem to your daughter...At being 19 you sound like you are doing a really good job at it...Not like other people I know who will throw their kids off on anyone that will take them...Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
