What you will be

As I hold you snug and warm against my chest, i look at your little hands and little feet, I slowly rock, closing my eyes and dream.

What you will be at 2yrs old, toddling around and giggles fill the air. Your bright blue eyes glisten as you reach for leaves on the trees.

What you will be at 5yrs old, clinging to my leg not wanting to leave my side. I whisper "it is alright baby girl, mommy will be waiting right here when you come home".

What you will be at 10yrs old, so smart and ready to explore the world. You are so grown-up now, so independent and strong.

What you will be at 18yrs old, As I watch you cross the stage to accept your diploma, I think about what you can accomplish and maybe even save lives.

Opening my eyes, still slowly rocking, I look down and see your beautiful blue eyes looking up at me. You smile and coo when I say "Momma is here; dont you cry, For I see your future and what you will be.
