You came into this world,
not too long ago.
Smiles and giggles,
to all you do show.
I cannot believe,
all this time has gone by.
It seems like just yesterday,
when I heard your first cry.
It is surprising to me,
how big you now are.
It has been amazing,
watching you grow so far.
But no matter how big,
you get in this world.
You'll always be,
My little girl.

Shannon, This is so beautiful, babies are precious and you showed just how special they are in your words here. You really produced some lovely imagery. They grow up too fast so please enjoy every moment of her youth and capture as many kodak moments as you can. They will last forever. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt piece with all of us and best wishes in the contest. It sounds golden to me. Love and blessings for you my dear friend, today and always.
