You play, you learn, you grow,
into the best little human that I know.
The sweetest, kindest, perfect soul,
you don’t even know you make me whole.
I embrace the memories of each day,
but time is quickly stealing you away.
Your tiny arms around my neck,
your sloppy kisses, little pecks,
and all the purest I love you’s,
will eventually be all too few.
Much too soon, will come the lasts,
and the present will be left in the past.
Time is selfish and never slows,
but I cherish each moment as you grow.
There’s a great big world for you to explore,
I pray you find happiness and so much more.
I’ll miss your hand when you’re feeling brave,
and I’m always your home when you’re afraid.
But oh sweet baby, please take your time.
I’m holding you tightly while you’re still mine.
