My Daughter

Here's a layout I did when I caught my 21 year old on the swings

The poem reads


For My Beautiful
Daughter

I looked at you today
and saw the same beautiful eyes
that looked at me with love
when you were a baby.
I looked at you today
and saw the same beautiful mouth
that made me cry when you first smiled at me
when you were a baby.
It was not long ago
that I held you in my arms
long after you fell asleep
and I just kept rocking you
all night long.
I looked at you today
and saw my beautiful daughter
no longer a baby
but a beautiful person
with a full range of emotions and feelings
and ideas and goals.
Every day is exciting
as I continue to watch you grow.
And I want you to always know that
in good and bad times
I will Love you
and that no matter what you do
or how you think
or what you say
you can depend on
my support, guidance
friendship and love
every minute of every day.
I love being your mother.

It was either at 2peas or dmarie and the author was unknown.

I can't wait until I do 3 other pictures that at another site I posted the pics and asked if anyone could write a poem for them. They are awesome, one of a kind poems written especially for my beautiful grandaughter and for those pictures.

I really love using poems and or quotes on my pages. I think scrapbooking can be sooooo much more than just preserving your photos. It is a creative expression. And I love poetry.
