Dear Brielle,
Today you turn one year old
We can hardly believe it
Our precious little doll
On your cake one candle lit
When we first met
You were alert and calm
So tiny, so soft, so content
So comforting in our arms
You seemed to thrive with challenges
Never giving up the fight
Inspiring in new experiences
Tummy time was a delight!
Like a blossoming rose
You have begun to bloom
With your cute button nose
And bright eyes too
Your quiet gentleness is profound
Tender yet powerful
Feelings of love abound
We are forever grateful
You melt hearts with your gaze
What a precious gem!
Pure and constant in the haze
A princess from heaven
There is a sorrow that stirs
With letting this year go
But what joy God confers
When making you our own
We have loved you every single day this year
We will love you for an eternity more
You are our bright-eyed happy girl it's clear
Your life is our joy--we can't wait for what's in store!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy :)
