K's 17th

 Its in the first 
heard 
heartbeat. 
Its in the first moment 
of knowing 
of your 
potential 
existence. 
Its in the expectant 
day of getting 
to hear your 
first cry, to hold you 
for the first time. 
It is in watching you 
grown, watching
your learn. 
Its seeing the girl you were
to the woman you 
are becoming. 
It was the moment I knew 
my life 
would never be the same. 
It is in the moment, 
I saw your 
precious face, 
held your sweet hand in mine
and kissed your cheek. 
From the day you were born and the 9 
months before, 
I loved you. 
Yesterday is gone, 
memories that forever
we will treasure. 
Today is here and we will 
add it to the days gone by. 
Tomorrow is unknown, 
but its a future 
for you to experience
a life for you to live. 
From the little girl 
who played princess and 
wore tiara's 
to the girl I see today
who loves all things 
I may not 
understand, and
to the woman of tomorrow that 
will shape the world to suit 
her needs.
Always know that I will 
be here for you 
not matter where you go, or
what you do. 
Soon you will 
be 17
and I smile for 
all that I have seen you do, 
as for moment I want 
to freeze the time
and keep you small. 
Today, 
Tomorrow and 
forever, 
I love you.
