Watching as you grow

From the moment I knew about you

Was like having all my dreams come true

Little heartbeat pacing to the sound of racehorse feet

Seeing you in black and grey

Filled my heart with joy that never fades away

The bump getting bigger

Feeling your kicks from inside

Watching as you grow

Blessings I couldn’t hide

Then come the day

Time to meet you

Looking into those eyes

holding those little hands

was worth all I went through

First smile first tooth first steps

Sleepless nights and lacking rest

Watching as you grow

Scraped knees and a boo boo kiss

Take me back to the days I miss

Kind to school to adulthood

Didn’t think my life would be this good

Through all the hard times we went through

I wouldn’t change being a mother to you

Proud of all I see

Can’t believe you chose me

First fish, first camping trip

Memories made while you played

Watching as you grow

You were the best pieces of me that’s all I know
