Dear Adriana
we feared your life before you were even born
we anticipated your arrival months in advance
and now you're here and you give us a feeling
we can't explain, but it echo's through us
with your simple smile.
look how the sun makes the brightest attempt to beam on you
and how every color just blends together
so the focus is soley on you.
that face holds many memories
and those eyes are filled with so much curiousity
and my eyes are filled with so much love.
beauty comes in many shapes and sizes
i never knew a blessing came in the form of a child
a day and night could end with you
your innocence is something i'll try my best to keep pure
and for the rest of my life, since the day you were born,
i promised you as i'd rock you to sleep and sang you
songs that'd i'd hold your hand through it all.
you're precious in so many ways and i look forward to
the day you become a teenager and I can tell you all the
things i've done with you over the years. But that can wait
because i don't want to rush through it all
and miss watching you grow up.
