Brittney
My darling daughter, so precious and new-
I found happiness with the birth of you.
You were so tiny and fragile, much like a china doll-
of the events in my life; your birth is the happiest I can recall.

That was then, and now you're four-
a newborn baby; you are no more.
I watch you as you grow-
and I cherish every moment, this I want you to know.

Soon, I will have to send you to school-
and soon, boys; not toys, will be what you find 'cool'.
I know that one day, on your own you will want to go-
and when that day comes, I ask only that you remember this:
mommy loves you more than you will ever know.
