“One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one… One day we crossed the street and you held my hand tight… Then, you were my baby, now you are my child…
Sometimes when you sleep I watch you dream, and I dream too… That someday you will dive into the cool, clear waters of a lake… Someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine… Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like fire…
Someday I will watch you brushing your child’s hair. Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun. And when that day comes… you will remember me.”
From the book “Someday” by Alison McGhee and Peter Reynolds.
My sweet Marlie, you are growing so fast. It’s a privilege to watch you come into your own. Someday, I will watch you “getting ready” like this….for real…when it isn’t pretend, but you will always be my “baby.”
Gina - This brings tears to my eyes. My girl does this too…they want to be so big so fast. Love, love this of sweet Marley.
