She was a girl

A girl who played dress-up and dreamed of tomorrow

A girl who dared to climb trees

And found joy in the unknown

A girl getting ready for her first dance

A girl wondering if love was just luck or design

A girl who felt her first heartbreak

A girl tasting coffee for the first time

A girl who begged for a puppy

Whose favorite story was Beauty and the Beast

A girl who faced loss and heartbreak

A girl who cried out to the stars

A girl trying to figure out who she was

And then, she became a mom

She found new dreams in her child’s eyes

She dared to climb higher, to show the way

She faced the unknown with love as her guide

She danced with her baby in her arms

She saw love’s true meaning in every smile

She healed from heartbreak with every hug

She shared her love for coffee during quiet mornings

She told the tale of Beauty and the Beast at bedtime

She faced new challenges with strength

She found comfort in the stars again

She’s still figuring out life

And learning every day

This is her first time being your mom, too
