One year ago

"One year ago"

One year ago
You came pounding into my world
crawling up my chest
and into my heart.

One year ago
you held your fist to your face
and looked at me
with my serious face.

One year ago
you stuck your tongue out at me,
and I couldn't believe that you had lived
inside of me.

One year ago
today
we welcomed your birth;
we held you in our arms;
we reveled in our love for you,
for us,
for our new family.

One year ago
you became our child;
we became your parents,
and we grew up.

Happy First Birthday

to the baby you've been.

Happy First Birthday

to the little boy you will be.
