When I was a little girl
I knew what I wanted to be
I practiced with my dolls
Pretending they were the real thing

The first time that I held you
And saw that beautiful face
I realized right then and there
That I had found my place

The simple way you watched me
With those dark blue curious eyes
You know I actually felt it
My heart had swelled in size

Those tiny little fingers
And the sweet smell of your breath
I remember like it was yesterday
It's a moment I'll never forget

Please know I thank God daily
For bringing you here to me
For knowing what I needed
In making my life complete

In return I make this promise
To love and guide and teach
And help you along this journey
To find the person your meant to be
