Now I Do



<BGSOUND SRC="http://www.shyscornerofblessings.com/ifthatisntlove.mid" LOOP=INFINITE>



My daughter wrote this for my Birthday,
Now you can all see why I'm so proud of her............


Now I do

I never understood the look I would catch
in my mother's eye when I caught her watching
me when she thought I wasn't looking,
Now I do.

I never understood the exasperation she would feel
when she had to tell me something for the eleventh time,
Now I do.

I never understood the pain in her
eye's when a friend mistreated me,
Now I do.

I didn't understand why she would panic
when I climbed too high in the tree,
Now I do.

I never understood the look of amusement in my
mother's eyes when I was having a talk with her about
something terribly "Important" in my child world view,
Now I do.

I didn't understand why she wanted me to sit on
her lap AGAIN, or hug me just a little bit longer,
Now I do.

I never understood why she bragged about my
accomplishments
or felt such pride when I did something right
Now I do.

I never understood why my pain could cause her tears,
Now I do.

I never understood when she said, "I love you more!",
Now I do.

I never understood why she considered me to be
her greatest gift from God,
Now I do.

I never truly understood what a gift from God
I had received in her,
Now I do.

Happy Birthday Mom –
All my love -
Boo
