Baby Brielle's Birthday!!

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 :)
