To My Daughter on Our First Mother's Day

In just shy of seven months, you have taught me more than I thought possible.

I never knew the love my heart could hold until it was filled with you.  

I never knew the worry my heart could handle until I watched you hurt. 

I never knew what joy was until I made you smile. 

I never knew the comfort you could bring until I held you in my arms. 

I never knew what hope was until I look toward your future.
