A note to my spunky 1 year old. I've had this in my thoughts for awhile but I couldn't seem to find the time to put it together. I love you Nathanator!
Time comes and goes, some say it flies
Each day is filled with hellos and goodbyes
Little moments pass without our notice
until we sit back with time to reminisce
It was early in the morning when I first saw your face
after hours of exhaustion in a very long race
they handed you too me, with hair oh so dark,
it took only a moment for you to leave your mark
See you touched my heart in the most tender of ways
you were mine and still are for all of your days
it hasn't been long but you've grown oh so fast
I cry when I realize that these days wont last
each day is an adventure with wonder and joy
you light up with new sounds and every new toy
Your laughter is contagious as well as that smile
it makes all the long nights very worth while
Long nights are many, with nightmares and teething
and that anxious mother heart that wakes to check if your breathing
I learn from you each day as I watch you grow tall
you're never afraid to get up when you fall
You're driven and happy, with excitement for life
I hope you hold on to that through heartache and strife
You look like your daddy, you act like him too
it amazes me the similarities I see in you two.
I love you dear Nathan which I hope you'll always know
One year down, and forever to go :)
