Dear Daughter,
Surprise is when you wafted into my world a good 20 days
before time-
the fragrant scent that would fill it forever.
Amazement is you picking up new words everyday and having
conversations with me at the age of 2.
Understanding is knowing you are only two and will ask
incessant questions.
Maturity is realising the role cut out for me will entail a
lot of sacrifices and compromises but in time, will bear rewards.
Fear is seeing you get hurt in any way.
Patience is playing the adult who will have to watch out for
ever baby step you take.
Fortitude is learning that you will test my persistence and
will power a lot.
Concern is waking up at 3 am to check if you are breathing
easy.
Care is coaxing you to drink up that medicine and using
every tactic to get you to do it.
Obstinacy is when you still refuse!
Expectation is waiting for you to become a woman who I can
see a part of me in,
take flight on a journey of your own.
Love is when you pull me close to you and give me the world’s
sweetest kiss ever,
the most priceless acknowledgement of whatever I do for
you.
Optimism is hoping our bond strengthens over time, and with
every passing day.
Sadness is thinking that you will leave the nest as soon as
you are old enough to look away.
Excitement is leading your hand to discover the myriad joys of
this world,
and seeing your eyes shine with glee.
Pride is creating all of you...in flesh and blood,born out
of me.
