To my daughter, on the eve of her 1st Birthday...

You were born

Into our arms

One year ago

With anticipation

We waited

To see you

To hear you

To hold you

To know you

So tiny

So beautiful

Our miracle

You cried

You nursed

You slept

We studied you

We cared for you

We loved you

Now you are one

No longer a baby

You walk

You communicate

You give hugs

You make us laugh

You are independent

You are full of life

And energy

You surprise us

Everyday

And we love you

More and more

Everyday

As time moves on

I know how

Blessed

We are to have

You

To experience this

World with

You

To be the

Parents

That get to

LOVE

You

This is for

You

My precious

Daughter

Whom I

Prayed for

Happy 1st Birthday

Gray!
