My One True Love

When I was just a young girl
I wrote poems every night
about my knight in shining pick up truck
and our love had no end in sight.

Days later I'd crumple the paper
and start a new draft.
This time he was a dark-lived drummer
and my mother hardly laughed.

My feet just kept on moving
ever so often I "fell in love" again.
Then one day it really happened
when I held her little hand.

Those beautiful blue eyes looked at me
red hair and chubby cheeks.
She made a sweet noise and closed her eyes
I couldn't wait for the day she'd speak.

This little angel in my arms
became my one true love.
I wasn't supposed to bring her in this world
She's my angel from above.

I named her Kaelen Elizabeth
its Irish/Gaelic for "Little Princess"
She's my world, my little girl
who doesn't like pink dresses.

That innocent little baby
who is now five years old
likes to rip heads off her barbie dolls
She's outspoken and bold.

She still says "please" and "thank you"
but sticks her tongue out behind your back
Kaelen is so smart and intuitive
there's not an emotion she lacks.

I love her so much it hurts my heart
she's my one true love, you see.
Little did I know I'd be loved back
by a little one who looks just like me.

All the poems you read
about love and being together
don't compare to the love she and I share
and unlike some of theirs, ours is forever.

So, Kae if you read this someday
I hope you know how much I love you.
You're my life, you're my miracle
and I don't know what I'd do with out you.

Love, your mom forever and a day..Megan
