My Daughter, A Mother

My Daughter, A Mother

It seems a few years ago

I held in my arms,

A new little baby

So snuggly and warm.

A beautiful smile,

Wispy hair with a curl.

At last heaven sent me

A sweet baby girl!

And in that first instant,

Right from the start,

My baby girl held

A special place in my heart.

Soft baby booties,

Dolls all over the place;

Ruffles and ribbons,

Pink dresses with lace.

Singing and dancing,

Tea parties and crafts,

Ballet and clogging,

Long talks and good laughs.

She’s no longer a child,

How quickly she’s grown!

And now my sweet daughter

Will have a babe of her own.

When her own baby’s born,

She’ll soon come to know,

Why my love for my daughter

Only continues to grow.

I love you Baby Dot! Love, Mom
