I have been sick, yet again, for days. While thinking of ways to strengthen my immune system, I have had extra time with my little one, as we've sneezed and coughed into (in her case, at least) each others faces. I am annoyed that I am sick again, but I am also exceedingly grateful.
Getting ready for this week, this favorite week of mine (yay, turkey!), I couldn't help but take a moment to compose a little poem to reflect the happiness in my heart.
Her Light
Time grows still
When I see your smiling face
The light in your eyes
And those dimpled cheeks
My love, my sweet, my darling
My daughter.
When I hold you, Little One,
Your hand against my cheek
Your laughter
Music inside my soul
I know you
My love, my angel, my light,
My daughter.

It's hard, feeling her wonderful weight in my arms, knowing that in just a few short years (well, ten, hopefully), she will hate to be smothered in her mother's kisses, spun in circles in her mother's arms, or simply rocked to sleep and held while she touches my cheek and I watch her eyes droop into sleepiness.
But, I am so thankful and know I will love this wonderful little girl as she grows into whomever she chooses to be. She will always be my little girl.
Happy Turkey Week! May we each find something to give thanks for...
