Mother and daughter

Each and every morning
as I wake,
almost still asleep-
but yet so awake

when I see my girl,
playing in her crib,
and lighting up
like the sun itself
when she sees my face.

Her smile as I pick her up,
her laughter
as we play,
Her eyes glittering
for each new thing,
Her hands trying
so hard to touch
everything

This tiny little baby girl,
who at her first breath
stole my heart.
This Love
My daughter.

It's the spontaneity of that child's smile, the instant beaming of joy and genuine delight upon seeing Mum's (or Dad's) face, that grabs a heart hostage :) I really enjoyed your text. I could picture the moments with your daughter and fully identify with the love that you feel and beautifully express. Made me think of my guys when they were babies; very nice memories. Thanks.

At this young age such a wisdom
Truly your daughter is very lucky
Your expression promotes love
A love that is holy and sacred.

As the others say, a lovely poem, I just remember those belly chuckles my sons had - from the tip of their nose right down into the belly, always makes me smile

If I remember correctly you wrote some poems a year or two ago about getting married. Now, a lovely daughter. A parent's love for their newborn is what life is all about. There's nothing like it, your joy is in your writing.

Truly a love poem . . . and you describe exactly my new grandson, such unconditional love both his and mine.
