Ten years ago today
I held you in my arms
I was captivated by your being
As I surrendered to your charms

My baby girl Elysa
Was an angel in disguise
I fell in love so easily
As I gazed into her eyes

With a smile so infectious
And a warmth to rival the sun
To me you are so special
Even tho you're my only one

I wanted to have more children
But it just wasn't meant to be
'tho we make a special team
This family of three

Over the years so much has happened
As I've watched you bloom and grow
You mean more to me than anything
I just wanted you to know

18 September 2002

Coco & Woofa, Elysa's pets

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Happy 10th Birthday Elysa!!!

Know what's the very best thing about having a Mom who writes poems for you? People from all over the world are going to be wishing you a Happy Birthday. Now how special is that?

I like your Coco and Woofa.
