Momservation: Daughters hold our hands for a little while, but hold our hearts forever.
☺ ☺ ☺
Fifteen years ago when I dreamed
What would make my family complete
Visions of you danced in my heart
I couldn’t wait for us to meet
A mommy needs a baby girl
I thank God that He agreed
He sent down the finest of His angels
Knowing exactly who I’d need
You arrived on this earthly stage
Ready to be its star
There hasn’t been a moment when
You didn’t know just who you are
Never without a smile
A precocious adventurer from the start
Always proceeding fearlessly
With plenty of room in your heart
Just like your daddy you make us laugh
Just like your mom a stubborn mule
Too smart for your own good
A rare and sparkling jewel
When I dreamed of you I didn’t dream big enough
Nor did I envision who God had in store
Never could I imagine
How my baby girl could be so much more
You are the sugar in my coffee
The song within my heart
You are the cherry on my sundae
The end, the middle, the start
You are the chocolate chips in my pancake
The sand to my beach
You are the light in my darkness
The fruit within my reach
You are the melody in my music
The warm blanket on my bed
You are the twinkle in my Christmas lights
The words never left unsaid
You are so much more than my carbon copy
More substance than a matching brown-eyed girl
The gifts you have exponential
So proud you have so much more to offer to the world
You came wrapped as the gift of Spring my granddaughter did, though a treasure for all seasons and all time you are.
The future had arrived the day of your birth – not mine or your mom’s – the good fortune had been passed to the world.
All who’ve known you speak the same: A new and better history will be written during this girl’s miraculous life. – Grandpa
