I see your simple line of thought
And I love to see the innocence untaught
To explore the world with no preconceptions
Is to experience life without exception.
We are so full of rigid patterns and ideas
It's a stark contrast to your total lack of fear
As you experiment with things freely
I can see you learning and growing so quickly.
I love to see you light up with delight unbridled
As something captures your attention unrivalled
You find pleasure in something so pure and new
I see you change every day as you discover you.
Your eyes are a hazel I could study for days
And a simple touch sets my heart ablaze
Your personality is shining like a diamond
And it's only waiting for you to find it.
Whenever we visit somewhere before unseen
You go quiet and pensive to take it all in
You are a thinker, a planner, a student
You have an opinion and are finding how to prove it.
I could spend every moment memorising all of you
In utero, post-natal, the sleepless nights, too,
You're the one thing I'll never have enough of
One superlative love I'll always crave a hit of.
That cherubic, sunshine smile you bestow
Makes my maternal love swell and grow
You're clever and funny and utterly unique
And keeping up with you has been no mean feat.
I can't ever record or explain what you do
That makes me so proud of the lady that is you
I will never try to shape you or change you at all
I will only love you and be there when you call.
As you grow older the world will try to mould you
It will stymie and resist and control and tell you
Please keep your stubborn curiosity alive and well
Don't forget to hold true to your story to tell.
