To My Future Daughter

Brooklyn Mary,

I can only imagine

What it would be like on the day

I hold your little body

In my loving arms.

I can only imagine

How you will be exactly one half of me and one half of your father

How you will grow up in such different world than I did

How you will learn things like I did when I was younger.  

I can only imagine

The things you will do that will make me laugh and cry

The things you will do that will make you proud of yourself

The things you will do that will make you happy.

I can only imagine

The future memories we will create with each other

The future fights that always happen between a mother and her daughter

The future happiness that you will bring in my life just by simply existing.

I can only imagine

The measures I will go through just for you

Like the measures my mother went for me

And hopefully the future measures you will do for your daughter.

I can only imagine

The amount of times I will tell you “I love you”

The amount of times I will lift you up when you’re down

The amount of times I will be protective over your heart.

Just know that the things I will do

Will only be for you because I love you
