My Angel Girl.

I Am Grateful. by: myself.

There's a song in my soul
and oh I am grateful
God I am grateful.
Breathe you in,
Kiss your sleepy eyes
And watch you sail into
a land of stars and dreams
and God I am grateful.
I am grateful.

As I hold you,
time breezes by
and trying to keep you
is like grasping for water
you just flow, life just flows
and Oh I am grateful.

I watch you and smile
with my sad mama eyes
but with joy in my heart
because you're mine.

Mother to daughter
and daughter to Mother
And I am grateful
Oh God I am grateful.

This is a poem that I wrote a few months back, scribbling furiously in my journal at a late hour after putting my daughter to bed. Watching her sleepy eyes close, holding her stuffed monkey close, chewing contentedly on her pacifier, breathing in her sweet baby smell, kissing her soft hair before laying her down, and wanting to cry and laugh all at the same time for the beautiful gift of being her mother.
I am SO grateful.
