My Dear CHILD
By Author Unknown
You are the poem
I dreamed of writing
the masterpiece
I longed to paint.
You are the shining star
reached for In my
ever hopeful quest
for life fulfilled...
You are my child.
Now with all things
I am blessed.

To My CHILD

You are the trip I did not take;
You are the pearls I cannot buy;
You are my blue Italian lake;
You are my peice of foreign sky.

A CHILD Teaches
by John Greenleaf Whittier
We need love's tender lessons taught
As only weakness can;
God hath his small interpreters;
The child must teach the man.

I Remember
Poet Thomas Hood
I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heav'n
Than when I was a boy.

Today A Baby Tomorrow A Friend
By Catherine Pulsifer
The day you were born
Will always be memorable
Holding you for the first time
Was like receiving a miracle
Those first steps
Those first words
Those first smiles
And those first falls.
You were determined
You made me proud
A child so pleasant
To all those around.
But as you grew
The time started passing quickly
And before I knew
You were a teen
The teen years were different
No longer did you want me around
In fact you often looked at me like a clown
But no matter what I loved you still.
And then very suddenly
You were grown
And marrying
To start your own family
I look back over the years
And memories come alive
I wonder where the time went
And what we did to survive
But now my child
You have your own
And friends we are
The best friend I have ever known.
