Right This Very Minute

Sixteen years ago right this very minute
I was awake and waiting
Daddy was snoring on a fold out couch
I touched my baby belly
Wondering who you'd turn out to be: Leah or Jacob
Today would be the day we'd meet
I just knew it
4 weeks shy of full term
You arrived as perfect as perfect can be
And you haven't stopped making us smile
Today right this very minute
I'm waiting for you to wake up to start your birthday celebration!


Post inspired by my Daughter's 16th birthday and prompt #2 at Mama's Losin' It!



Linking up with Papa is a Preacher.
