My Little Girl

Posted January 2009 in Poems by Dawn Harris


 

I stand in the doorway and watch as she plays

Burning the image in my mind

I see glimpses of my baby girl

And I want to freeze this moment in time

 

As I look at her now I stand in awe

It really should come as no surprise

The good and the bad; a mirror image of me

I see myself reflected in her eyes

 

She may not understand

But the reality that I see

Is the very thing that draws me to my knees

I want her to know that I am nothing on my own

I am only what He created me to be

 

He gave her to me, but I am the one changed

She makes me want to be my best

I want her to know that it is only in HIS arms

That I find my strength and rest

 

She still lets me play the role; a part that makes me who I am

And I pray that will never end

Forever I will say I am blessed to be her Mom

Even more to be her friend
