Alexia

Nine months you grew inside me.

Nine months we were as one.

Nine months I felt your heart beat.

Nine months you comforted my tears.

Nine months you listened to every word I spoke.

Nine months we loved each other.

Now today you are four.

Today I love you even more.

Today we look alike.

Today you say you love me.

Today you laugh and giggle.

Today you live with no worries.

Today you sing and dance with such joy and grace.

Tomorrow your eighteen and off to college.

Tomorrow you yell at me.

Tomorrow you hate me.

Tomorrow you don’t speak to me.

Tomorrow you break my heart.

Tomorrow I have to let you go.

Tomorrow you start your own life.

Tomorrow you have your own family.

Tomorrow I love you even more than yesterday.
