Love Glitter GraphicsInstantly
How can I comprehend what I am about to see?The years of waiting now becoming a memory.Your eyes, your skin, your hair. Oh, the wonder of your face!I can’t believe this day we have finally embraced!
Instantly the pain I felt so deeply has now gone.Instantly I have a child to call my very own.Instantly and suddenly you are my dream come true.Instantly, so instantly I have been blessed with you.
I can hardly believe it, how beautiful you are!Practically perfection, the most precious one by far.A gift that was tucked away until this very dayThat we could meet, I feel complete knowing you’re okay.
Instantly the pain I felt so deeply is now joy.Instantly I now have met my handsome little girl.Instantly and suddenly you are my dream come true.Instantly, so instantly I have been blessed with you.
How can I begin to thank my Father up aboveFor allowing me to know the depth of mothers’ love?Tears I’ve cried before this day don’t matter anymore.There’s joy in my heart from the start that was not before.
Instantly a good, perfect gift was bestowed on me.Instantly we get to share now ‘til eternity.Instantly and suddenly you are my dream come true.Instantly, so instantly I have been blessed with you.
I will try my very best to love and care for you.That’s what your other mom would have wanted me to do.A responsibility and honor to enjoy molding you into a woman from just a little girl.
