From Me to My Girls

Mikenna came home with an assignment for us to write a short something about her to describe what she is like on the inside in honor of Martin Luther King Day. A lesson on appreciating people for their hearts and actions - not their physical appearances. I'm a little rusty on writing poetry (I actually didn't like it much in school) but I wanted it to be more heartfelt than writing a list of words. I wrote it with all 3 girls in mind, so this is what I came up with :-)

If only words could say,
How much that we love you,
We always feel this way,
No matter what you do.

Your Mommy 'n' Daddy,
Felt a love so new,
For this lovely baby,
The moment we met you.

We just want to express,
To please know that you're smart,
You never fail to impress,
Especially with your art.

We have watched you grow,
Fed your curious mind,
Are amazed at all you know,
And above all; You are kind.

Big sister so caring,
Invest your heart and soul,
Yet sometimes over-bearing,
But you know your role.

We can't wait to see,
The wonderful woman you will be.

Priveledged and proud to be your parents - We couldn't have asked for a better daughter(s).

All Our Love,
Mommy ♥ Daddy
