My Favorite Gift

My favorite gift

beneath the tree?

This gorgeous smile

that’s just for me.

Your thoughtful eyes

quietly noticing.

Your little body

always growing.

Every day

you’re learning more.

And warming my heart

to its core.

My precious daughter

so sweet and fair.

My adorable girl.

My Anneliese Claire.

    I had no idea you wrote a poem, I am really glad you posted a link on your latest update. I love it. :) When my son was 3 days old I wrote him a letter that I still have on my computer. I doubt I will ever give it to him, but every time I re-read it, I cry! There was so much emotion in those first days and I needed to get it all out. Its amazing how much love you can have for someone so small. *hugs*

    See, but it’s not Angsty poetry so it’s all good. This is something i’d put in a baby book, or collage frame with the poem that she can have later – it’s such a cute “montage” :)
