Daughter

You were wanted.
You were planned.
I could not wait for your arrival.
You came into this world on your schedule.
8 pounds 3oz of energy.
Huge brown eyes
looking around in confusion
blinking, blinking.
What must have been going through you mind?
I watched you grow in amazement
Marveling at your resilience.
Determined to do things your own way
marching to your own drummer.
Now grown all of 30
Still watching you grow
marverling at your achievements.
I could not be more proud.
More pleased.
I am truly blessed.
