I watched you grow
so fast
so fast
And wondered
how I could stop time
Because I love you
too much
too much
To let you blossom
bigger than my arms
But you are
my sun
my sun
In the darkest of days
And you make me happy
all the seconds of every day.
Happy Birthday My Little One

…and yet stopping would be heartbreaking as well. I panic, my youngest (I have six) is 5 and I am trying to get in all the kisses he will allow (which is still quite a few – but my days are numbered!) I like the repetition of “too fast” “too much” and “my sun” … I hear a bit of mommy’s panic there and can relate 🙂

I totally understand what you feel. Sometimes I look at my kids and silently panic that they’ll grow old someday!

Your daughter is so beautiful as is you love of her.
(I remember my youngest son, then aged six, ‘promising’ me he would grow no bigger/taller so I could hug him forever…of course he did and as an adult, he still loves a cuddle!)
