A Girl's Gift

When I was little, I wanted a locket. So now that I am a mommy, I wanted my girl's to have a locket. Now that I am a grandma too, Randy and I agreed that we would get one for ALL three of our girls. So we were able to give them matching lockets.
I also wrote a poem to go along with it. Everyone else seemed to like it, I thought it was okay. You decide....

BLESSED

How did I get here?
How did I get to be so blessed?
To see your smile...
To see your eyes looking into mine...
To feel your warmth
As you hug me
Because you love me.
To know that when you are hurt
You will come to me.
To know that when you are happy
You will want to share that, too.

How did I get to be so blessed?
To be what I am to you
Is the best job
I could have ever asked for.
The love I feel,
When I think about who you are
In my life,
It is astounding to me.
How did I get here?
Does it really matter?
I am here.
I am blessed.

Your tiny hands,
I love to hold.
Your tiny tears,
I will brush away.Your tiny feet,
I hear running to me.
Your tiny hugs,
Are bigger than can be imagined.
Your tiny kisses,
Are so sweet on my cheek.
How did I get to be so blessed?

When I held you for the first time,
I had to wonder how this little person,
That I had yet to see,
Until now...
Could have such a profound effect on me.
I wondered if it was possible
To feel that much love for one person.
I know now that it IS possible,
And it continues to grow.
I am blessed.

The love in my heart
Is neverending.
The love in my heart is
Strong and unwavering.
You will be Forever In My Heart.
