Little Wonder

Oh little one, what wonders await the two of us?
There are so many things we still have to learn.
But we'll learn them together.
Though there will be times when things don't go smoothly,
When I'm overwhelmed and confused,
When you're cranky and frustrated,
We'll still have each other,
And our bond will only grow stronger.

Oh little one, who will you grow up to be?
I hope that you'll do what makes you happiest,
And that the weight of the world doesn't break you down.
I hope that you'll be kind and strong, brave and open-hearted.
I hope you'll be the type of person
Who makes others feel better about themselves
Simply by being around you.
Oh little one, you'll be my greatest adventure.
