THE PUZZLE PIECE

Rocking you . . . sweet eyes, small hands.
Your breathing, soft and slow.
Like a perfect puzzle piece
My love fits as you grow.

Soon you'll learn to walk and talk.
I'll kiss your tears away.
You'll outgrow clothes and make new friends.
You'll go to school someday.

I'll help with homework, and cheer you on!
My pride in you will shine.
We'll build our memories day by day
By sharing family time.

We'll get through first love & fashion trends.
Sometimes I'll make you mad.
Another thing I know for sure,
You'll learn to drive with Dad!

I'll lend an ear or give you space.
I'll say, "I'm proud of you."
When I say "No" remember this,
I want what's best for you.

The world awaits your growing up
But me, well, it can keep.
For now I'll hold you closer still
And rock you as you sleep.

I wrote this down so years from now
No doubt that you will know,
Like a perfect puzzle piece
My love fits as you grow.
