That's My Kaidy!

"There is no way to be a PERFECT MOTHER, and a million ways to be a GOOD ONE..." 

-Jill Churchill

Today, I wanted to share with you my latest blog about my daughter and motherhood. I have an idea about doing a poetry book about my life as a mom during these first infant and toddlers years and the way I have grown as a parent and a person and the bond that Kaidence and I have developed. Many of you know that I didn't ever see myself with kids, but here I am someone's mother and I'm pretty good at it too. lol. Some days are a challenge but everyday is worth it. So, here's an example of one of the types of poems I plan to include in the book. Enjoy...

Kaidence Ja'Nae

Sometimes I just sit and watch her sleep, 

So peacefully, without a care in the world,

Wondering how, well why God chose me?

But, either way I thank Him for trusting me to love and care for such a beautiful baby girl.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about her well being,

As her parent I vow to always love, care and supply all her wants and needs,

Because she's  my main priority, she's always my main reason,

To shoot for the moon and stars and make sure I accomplish all of my dreams.

I didn't think I would ever love anyone more than I loved myself,

Until I held her in my arms and realized it was no longer about me,

I knew from then on I would without a doubt, for her give my last breath,

She's shown me the true meaning of being selfless and I'll always put her first, that's guaranteed.

No amount of money could ever compare to just seeing her pretty smile,

The moments we share and the memories we make are priceless,

And no matter how tired I am, whenever she wants to play, sing, color, mommy pushes herself that extra mile,

Because for every time she says, "thank you mommy, I had fun," our day was a success. 

I don't care how many people call me "extra" or how many criticize me for being over the top,

Because I only have one child and I'm going to always make sure she has and she's good,

I'll spend my last dime and all of my time to show her my love for her will never stop,

The bond we have will never be broken and the way I cherish her will never be misunderstood.

I don't know why God chose me, but I'm glad He did,

And until the death of me, I'm going above and beyond to show major love to my kid,

Because that's my heart and I love her beyond my mind and soul,

She'll never have to look for me, I'll always be there and my love for her she'll forever know. 

Dear lord, 

For my child I'll continue to pray,

Please watch over, protect and shield from all hurt, harm and danger my Kaidence Ja'Nae!

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a while, but their hearts forever." Kaidence will always and forever be in my heart and on my mind. If you're a parent I am sure you completely understand where I am coming from. 

Please, all feedback, comments, suggestions are welcomed. Thank you all for reading and joining me yet again.

Until next time,

XOXO,
