I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun; You’re part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew, My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
I’d daydream of the things we’d share, Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees, Like bedtime stories and ABC’s.
I thought of things you’d want to know, Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I’d need to share, Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face, I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the God above, And promised you unending love.
Each night I lay you down to sleep, I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes; I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door, Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light, I whisper, “I love you” every night.
I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journeys begin, My heart’s yours forever little one.
