Hannah's Poems ...Mommy Minute

As some of you may already know, my little Hannah will be turning 2 in 6 days!

Maybe it is the emotions I am feeling from Mother's Day,

or maybe it is the emotions I am feeling because my baby is growing up. But,

Hannah ,

never worry, you will always be my Baby!

Some of you may know, I love to write.

I have papers about Cougar Attacks, Classroom Engagements and Shrimp Thieves to name a few.

I have poems for my husband, foot doctor, and even co-workers.

But, I have never written anything for by own daughter.

The pressure is just too great.

But today is the day I will venture out and overcome my fears!

Selected

I feel so honored
that I was selected to be your mother.

I feel so blessed

that I get to truly feel your pure love each day.

I feel so optimistic

because I know your kindness, intelligence, and strength

is going to better the world.

I feel so fortunate that I get to be a child in your classroom

learning from you every day.

I feel so humbled

by the piece of perfection I was trusted to raise and nurture.

I feel so thankful,

for even though I was selected to guide and protect you,

I know you,

my little angel,

were selected to guide and better me

forever.

I'm in Love with a 2 Year Old

I'm in love with a 2 year old,

a 2 year old,

a 2 year old.

I'm in love with a 2 year old,

and I can't help but shout out why!

She puts her whole self in all she does,

not many people dare to try.

The way she lights up with sheer joy

from her toes to those precious, blue eyes.

She speaks with such conviction,

many can't help but follow and believe

because this 2 year old is something special,

and I can't wait to see the greatness she'll achieve.

She is Miss Independent,

determined to lead the way,

but she never wanders too far off

because God guides her day.

When she snuggles and she cuddles,

her warmth can't help but flow out.

She simply melts my heart ,

and I can't help but gladly shout,

I'm in love with a 2 year old,

a 2 year old,

a 2 year old,

I'm in love with a 2 year old

and I can't help but feel so

blessed!

I will always love you Hannah Grace!
