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.
