My Baby

SMILES

As you lay there in your crib,

Watching the mobile go around,

A smile comes upon your face,

And I couldn't make a sound.

I start to remember the past two months,

From new born to infant,

God I love you so much.

We play airplane together,

You're face is so serious.

Before I sit you down you grin,

How unbelievable.

You're growing so fast,

Just yesterday I could feel you move inside me.

Waiting nine months to see you,

And a lifetime to enjoy.

I love you with every ounce of my being,

And couldn't imagine life any other way,

You bring so much peace and love,

To me each and every day.
