The time is here, a Year has passed,
It has all gone terribly fast.
Just yesterday I’m sure you were still tiny new,
with crumpled face and newborn hue.You are still my babe in arms, my tiny one, full of charm.
Your big hazel eyes and squishy rolls. The way you chuckle, your tiny toes.
I’ve breathed in every minute of you. The sleepless nights- the explosive poo but still I feel time has run away. Your baby face fading every day.
As you chase your brother up the stairs pull the cats tail or daddy’s chest hairs, throw your food around the lounge, demand yet more boob, or won’t settle down, my wild and free child, my little lady, alas, I’m reminded you are no longer a baby.
Today you turn one, 365 days old Your first year earth side has been an adventure, with tears, love, laughter and so much to treasure.Happy first Birthday my darling, I love you, always.
An ode to your first Birthday

What a lovely poem, it’s very special and isn’t it nice to just sort of pour it all out into rhyme. A lovely keepsake for future reading. Thank you for sharing with the #DreamTeam x

So well written. I fear poetry is one thing I struggle to write. You should print this off, frame it and give it your little one when they reach the ripe old age of, say, 16!

That’s very kind of you to say! I didn’t set out intending to write a poem, that’s for sure! (And I’m not entirely convinced it is something i’m that good at either! ) thank you for stopping by! X
