One Whole Year of Love

As far as I can tell, it was one year ago today that you were born.

 

Born from nothing into something.

 

From two halves into an amazing whole.

 

One year ago today that you sparked and

started shining and growing and changing our lives.

 

They say that the first year goes quickly,

that the changes that occur in that year are astounding;

from newborn to walking, talking wonderful toddler.

 

But I'm talking about the real first year. 

From single cell to a smiling, laughing, cooing,

hugging, snuggling heart stealer.

 

I've had one whole year with you, my dear son. 

A whole year of the most wonderful love I could ever know.

 

Happiest of happy birthdays to you my happy baby.

 

 

 

"Before you were conceived I wanted you,

Before you were born I loved you,

Before you were an hour old I would die for you.

This is the miracle of love." -Maureen Hawkins
