I have no real reason for this post other than the fact that I love this little girl SO much. Lilly is a pure delight and such a special little girl. I'm not one for journaling so I thought I'd do my best to express my feelings through this poem. Lilly, this is for you!!
A Mother's Love
I never once thought that I could love so much,
But I’m sure it happened with that first gentle touch.
Ten little fingers and ten tiny toes,
This love that I have only a mother knows.
I look at you now and have so much to say,
But where do I start it would take all day.
I know you’re not mine but a gift from above,
But I gladly accept with a heart full of love.
Right now, what I know, as certain and right,
Is that you are my sun, the source of my light.
I don't need many things, expensive or new,
All that I need is this time spent with you.
For years I have waited to say “I love you,”
No longer a dream as it finally came true.
This precious soul I will forever embrace,
A true gift from God named Lillian Grace.

great poem! thanks for sharing. i was in awe of the same things in my love for evalana today. i'm not so eloquent with words, though, so i just say "i love you so much." and it amazes me that God loves her and each of us even more than that.
Very sweet poem, Marcy. I can't believe how big Lilly is getting! She's a cutie!
I can't believe I missed this post until now! I am totally crying, so sweet and precious. She will cherish this forever.
