First Day

For Her

By Ulysses TuggyPublished 3 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Today, you were born.

We all cried for different reasons.

As you sleep in mama's arms, I now write this for you.

Your first day isn't fun for any of us, but we await your first smile.

Your first laugh.

Your first words.

Your first sing-along with mama.

Your first steps at my side.

I don't yet know how to dance, but we'll learn how, together.

A few birthdays from now, mama will find your pony.

Today, all I have for you is every remaining beat of my heart.

Love
