Reflections On 3 Months

As I nursed you tonight

I had a little cry. 

Thinking of this 3 months 

and how fast it's gone by. 

3 months ago today

we met for the first time. 

Your first moments lying on my chest

were pure joy - no crying. 

Looking down now I see

just how much you've grown. 

So much changed so fast;

I wish I would have known. 

I touch your little legs...

Way bigger than they used to be!

You learn so much every day. 

And you're constantly teaching me. 

It's been hard at times,

but you're worth every tear. 

So many changes in 3 months

I can't fathom the year. 

As I lay you down,

you grab tightly onto my shirt. 

Keep that grip, and I'll carry you

through all the joy and hurt.
