Meet you there

You are so big

Yet still so small

Your growing body

feels it all

Some days are hard

You try your best

I see the love you

Try to express

I always see it

When others don’t

I’ll never doubt it

Promise, I won’t

As you enter

This new age

The ebbs and flows

Of this stage

Know I’ve got you

I’ll be right here

Now and beyond

This second year

Because I love you

Unconditionally

Because you’re my baby

Just past infancy

Terrible?

No, not all

It’s terrific, a privilege

To have you at all

So here’s to you

In your second year

I’ll see you soon

I’ll meet you there.
