When the doctor’s placed you in my arms, I felt my heart go numb. <br />I thought you would never come! <br />How happy you made me! <br />My beautiful little girl, Riley. <br />You were fighting mad, kicking me with your tiny little feet. <br />But I didn’t care you still looked so sweet. <br />When you looked up at me I felt my heart stop. <br />It was so filled with happiness and pride, I thought it would just pop.I couldn’t believe that you were finally here. <br />But you were screaming mad, telling me you were definitely there. <br />I pulled you close to me never wanting to let you go. <br />Everybody else wanted a turn to hold you, but I told them all <br />no. <br />You finally went to sleep after nursing off of my breast. <br />And I could feel this sharp pain in my chest. <br />It was my heart growing bigger, for the love I made just for you. <br />Finally you were here, at home cuddled in my arms, as you woke up with a smile of contentment and made a coo.<br /><br />Rebecca Moors<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dedicated-to-my-daughter-riley/
