My First Blessing Poem by Marian Allen

I remember the first time I heard your heart beat.
The sound of a little life growing inside me.
I remember I first time I heard you cry.
The sound of you brought a tear to my eye.
I remember the first time I held you close to my heart.
I made a promise to God that day that you and I would never be too far apart.
I remember the first time I dressed you, I counted every finger and every toe, I buttoned every button and I tied every bow.
I remember your first car ride,
I sat in the back seat just to be by your side.
I remember staying up with you all through the night,
but it never even bothered me.
I just wanted to make sure that you where alright.
I remember the first time I heard you talk, and how proud I felt to see you first walk.
I remember so many of your first little things...
But most of all I remember...
You where my first true blessing!
