Happy 4th Birthday, Scarlett Rose
May 4, 2019
Dear Scarlett Rose,
My first baby, my first little love…
The first time I heard your heartbeat: the first time mine seemed to simultaneously stop and burst.
Your first kick: the first time I felt the joy of motherhood.
Your first breath: the first time I lost mine.
The first time I looked into your eyes (the brightest blue I’ve ever seen): the first time mine could see.
The first time I heard you laugh: the first time my heart sang.
Your first word: the first time I heard my most favorite name.
Oh my first little love, all of your firsts are also my firsts—how blessed I am that I get to share them with you.
My eyes are wide open
Oh my [love], for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
My mind is wide open
Oh my [love], for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life
Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world
