I never took my eyes
off of you
Everything you did
and still do
Is seen
Yes, I see your struggles
but how you're special too
How you create magic
Every day is new
with you
I saw you when you couldn't move
but tried your best
Who then knows you better than me
who knows your dreams, your zest
I see your shyness
your hesitations
I see your stubbornness
your frustrations
But I also see your smile
that lights up the room
I revel in your curiosity
that dispels all gloom
They say mothers are biased
but no,
mothers are the ones
who really know
you.
As I watch you learn and grow
find yourself, find your crew
my ardent wish is that you believe
in yourself, as much as I do
