Time has had wings this past year ..it does only seem like yesterday when he was born and yet it seems like forever .. The days have been long , the nights longer and still the year feels shorter .. Shortest than any year I've lived , but it's been the craziest and the happiest .. It's been magic and madness , giggles and worries , firsts and lasts ..it's been beyond rewarding and yet sometimes annoying .. It's been a gamut of emotions , a whole new world of possibilities and experiences .. It's becoming a mother , a parent ..knowing and feeling a love like no other !
I could go on an on but I want to share a poem I read awhile back , edited a bit and saved it for my baby's 'one'derful day ..echoes my sentiments completely !!
My love , you are one today
And learning so very much ,
There's nothing in this house ,
That you don't want to touch !
Your fingerprints are evident ,
In every single place
Along with that mischievous smile
On your naughty lil face !
You've made our lives complete
In each and every way
You alone gladden my heart
And brighten every single day !
You are our special lil boy ,
We can't wait to watch your life unfold
Have a happy birthday
Today you're one year old !!
What a wonderful journey it must have been for you Priya! This is a beautiful poem, and I wish you several more such moments of joy. but more than that I wish you strength and courage my friend, for continuing to do the splendid and challenging job of raising a child, and doing it with such gusto and grace.
