To My Sassy Darling

Ahhhh....you.

You are seven now, a sassy darling. 
So smart and talented, so incredibly funny.
I love everything about you.
Of course I do.

Ahhhh...you.

Make me love until it hurts,
I hug you so tightly you complain,
"Momma, that's too much!"
You are my everything.

Ahhhh...you.

Growing up before my eyes,
No more gradual changes,
It seems to be happening
A l l  a t  o n c e .

Ahhhh...you.

If I could slow time, I sometimes think,
I would...(or would I?) 
I am utterly grateful for each moment,
I don't want to miss a thing.

Ahhhh...you.

I think back over this past year:
You at Disneyworld.  Us in Hogwarts.
You in starting second grade,
Starring in your first play.

Ahhh...you.
I love you so.
