3/28/1998

Today I held you,
for the very first time. 
I saw your 
sweet face,
gave you your precious name. 
For months 
I wondered who you would 
be. 
Today is the beginning 
of getting to know 
the little girl you 
will become. 
Watching the steps you will 
take, 
will be my greatest joy and
perhaps
my greatest frustration.
Never have I wanted to 
protect someone
other than me. 
Never have I loved
someone more
than you. 
I counted your 
ten tiny toes
and your ten tiny fingers. 
Today, I held you
for the first time. 
Today is the beginning
of being your mom
and watching you
grow. 
Let me tell you 
little one, 
I love you more than 
you will ever know
until that moment, 
you hold your own. 
I love you sweet little 
Kira Dee.
