proud

You were placed in my arms wrapped up in a blanket a long time after you were born,
You struggled and fought through the illness and pain
You never complained
I watch you grow daily and hit your milestones...eventually
Your smiles... your always smiling
they light my heart
I watch you slowly find your way as you tell me
mummy go away let me explore
but dont go too far
a couple weeks ago you started to crawl
and today
You pulled yourself up on a toy box and stood proud
Proud of what you have achieved
All by yourself
With the love and support and room to grow.
