Holding her in my arms,
So innocent and sweet,
Her bright blue eyes stare at me.
My eyes are hopeful
Because in hers, I see
the wonderment of life.
Her rosy cheeks hold fullness,
Her pink toothless gums whisper dreams
and her little goo giggles soften the world’s worries.
I do not know how such a little person,
weighing 14 pounds, 7 ounces,
can have such a huge influence on me,
But she does.
I am in love with this tiny bundle of joy,
And she is,
my daughter.

It amazes me to know that someone so young can try so hard and do a wonderful job raising her daughter and having the feelings that you do for her! I am totally proud of you!!!!

It is not often that a young woman can find this depth of love in their heart for an unplanned child. God bless you
