21. As The Years Go By
Poet Introduction
For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.
I closed my eyes, and you were one,
Poet Introduction
For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.
I closed my eyes, and you were one,
Wow this was an unexpected thought which happens I am sure in every mother's life but rarely thought over, and very carefully placed. It left a smile on my face. Thank you for this beautiful...

Poet Introduction
Love's force swells my heart
Until it feels tender and bruised.
I look at my daughter and see myself reflected in her face.
My bones, my flesh and blood run through her.
Lovely poem. A nicely composed piece. Watching a child grow can be amazing, but missing them cannot be avoided.

When I first held you in my arms,
You were so perfect and so small.
You are a full-grown woman now;
And I am proud, oh how!
She's a soft cool rain on a hot summer's day.
She makes me laugh with the funny things she has to say.
She's the beat of my heart and the air that I breathe.
This poem is beautiful! I love it! My dad has walked two of my sisters down the aisle, and I imagine this poem would touch their lives. It had me in tears.
You are in my thoughts every step of my way.
Although you are grown and far away,
I know when you're happy or having a bad day.
Just being your mom, I know your way.
That was a beautiful poem. It put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. It still amazes me that I still look at my daughter now at age 45 as I did the day she was born. My daughter also...
my daughter is very special,
kind and very true.
If you've ever met her,
I'm sure you'd think so too.
Very well written. I feel the same way towards my Angel. Thank you for writing this. God Bless.
To my little girl
Precious as a pearl
We've had our ups and downs
We've even gone a few rounds
I can relate to this. I have a niece and nephew who are "brown" and beautiful and so sweet! This was one of the only things I ever argued with my parents about in high school. I had...
She's a joy, she's an angel - well that's what she thinks
She clings on to your heart like a plug to a sink
She drives you all crazy with make believe games
She'll have you believe that fairies fly planes
The author of this poem is extremely talented. I was very impressed by the thought of having a daughter who did all the little things she did. I had a daughter and gave custody to her dad...
Poet Introduction
I don't know what you're going through,
But I hope you understand,
I'm just trying to be your mum
And give you a guiding hand.
Encircle your child with love
Offer your hand to guide her
Shower her with tenderness
Shelter away her fears
God rewarded my life with the smile of my baby girl.
She's brought great joy to me since the hour she entered the world.
Her spirit allows me to see the beautiful world through her eyes.
That child has made a mammoth improvement for many people's lives.
I have 3 daughters and 6 grandkids. I'm blessed to have them all in my life. This poem represents exactly how I feel. Very good.
Happy Sweet Sixteen, my dearest teen.
Here she is, already sixteen!
My pretty little girl grew up too fast,
Wonderful poem! I can feel the love that you beautifully expressed toward your daughter! It is a very touching poem! I know how you feel, as my daughter is almost 15 year old now. I will show...
The light of my life,
The joy who is so full of life,
The only one in the world to me,
Poet Introduction
You came into this world so tiny and so small,
but nonetheless you were God's gift to us all.
I watch you grow more and more each day,
Poet Introduction
"At last! I've finally found happiness," she said.
Roses and butterflies danced in her head.
No more sadness, heartache, or pain,
For this man will make her whole again.
Sitting alone in my room,
everything seems dark and gray.
The more I sit and think,
the more useless I feel,
My daughter and I have been thru a rough life as single mothers, we have our disagreements, we argue, we fight, but I want my daughter to know that she is my world and reason for living and...
When my daughter walks into a room
All you can do is smile
Her happy little face can take away any gloom
Her chubby little cheeks
To My Daughter Sami Anne,
I've got something special to say,
I wish you the happiness,
On this your special day.
Beautiful! I am sure she loved this on her day. I hope she and you are living a healthy life together with her new family.
Poet Introduction
You float on the spring winds that blow,
and cause the morning sun to glow.
You are the warmth of a summer's day,
This poem really has a lot to say, and in it, I think I can feel a parent's struggle: to care for their children, but also to know when to let them go. And acknowledging that. This really...
