To My Daughter On Her First Birthday

Hey Steemians,

I hope you all are enjoying the festive season in the various ways that you do. Be it alone, and enjoying the solace or spending it with friends and family. whichever way you are spending it, i'm sending you good thoughts and vibes. I hope you are happy.

It's been a bit of a wild year for me. yera 1 of being a mommy and holding on to being mimi for dear life. at first it was less mimi and more mommmy, but the old girl is making a comeback. And she is a better person. A little bit different, but still mimi.

So the little bugger turned one just over a week ago. and i wrote this little poem for her. Been wanting to share as it sums up the progression nicely.

It's cheesy but real. And i guess just how i feel. Let me know what you thought?


Hayla

You turn one soon,
How time has flown by

A short while ago all day you lay curled up in my arms
The only way you keep still and calm
While in mommy's head sets off a thousand alarms
Panicked, hungry, helpless I prayed
Hopeful we get through this dreaded day

But as time went by so did the dread
Except on some nights when all I want is to crawl into bed
But you refuse to settle after a long day
And although you should be resting you choose to play

A whimsical creature my sweet girl has become
With the will of dragon and laughter as bright as the sun
From crawling to standing to dancing on the spot
You progress at lightning speed showing us all you got

And although I miss the part of me that was wild and free
I would miss you a thousand times more if you ever seized to be

Happy 1st Birthday My Hayla Bear
Love You Always, Mommy
