My dear baby girl today you are four.  I cannot believe how fast time has passed us by.  I remember as if it were just yesterday when I heard your first cry.  A lullaby so sweet to a mother's ears.  I also remember holding you through the night when I visited you in the NICU your tiny little body pressed against my chest, us breathing in harmony.  It was during that time that I would think about the baby, and little girl that you'd become.  I knew you'd be an angel but never in my wildest thoughts did I think how deeply you'd capture my heart.  How you'd turn my world into pink, smiles and giggles.  When I look at you my heart swells with pride and I cannot help but smile inside and out.  You are more than I ever imagined with your creativity, imagination, and way of making the world fall for you.  My darling daughter, love of my life.  You are my precious treasure.

Olivia

You are a quiet strength
that is known
for tenderness and devotion.

A friend to all
an enemy to none,
God’s precious treasure
in life’s setting sun.

You are a keeper of peace
full of kindness
with devoted love unleashed.

I cherish you
Mommy
