My Baby You'll Be

My sweet, little Sam. Where do I start with how much I love you? From your long eyelashes to your button nose to your sandy brown hair and your pouty lips. You are perfect and will always be my little miracle baby.

In my memories I will forever bathe you and diaper you, swaddle and dress you. I will caress your face while whispering sweet nothings. I will massage your hands and feet while humming Hush Little Baby. I will tell you of the world outside your window while laughing at your smiles. I will detail your brother John's most recent antics while imagining what you and Charlie will come up with.

I will rock you back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And as I rock you I will sing:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

I love you, sweet Sam. I will forever be grateful you came into my life.

-Mom
