I see you

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
