Your little hand felt bigger today
As I held it and rocked you to sleep.
Who knew that something so small (yet so big)
Could make me have feelings so deep
My heart breaks a little to know as you grow
That each day means saying goodbye
To your sweet baby-isms that I fell in love with
Yet there's an excitement I cannot deny
Each day you do something amazing and new
That I feel honored to see and to share
From reading a book to calling me mom
To petting the dog instead of pulling her hair
You're a living lesson to be in the moment
Whether that moment is a low or a high
It amazes me that at not even one year old
You have become my "because" and my "why"
No matter how big your hands get little one
Just know I will always be there
To hold your hand and rock you to sleep
I love you and the moments we share
