21 years old
9 pounds 5 ounces in my arms
Pefect in every single way
Brought forth by a loving wife
22 years old
I watched you babble
You didn't crawl you rolled
Loved like no other
23 years old
You spoke in full sentences
You knew and loved all animals
You walked and spread joy
24 years old
You started preschool
Your baby brother was born
You became the best big sister
25 years old
Your tender heart grew daily
Empathy your moral code
Upset by any injustice
26 years old
Is this real
I didn't know how much love I had
Until you walked in that school
No matter how much you learn and grow
I'll love you forever, I hope you know.
