My Baby Boy

Dear Little Boy,

To me you are an answered prayer.
In so many more ways than you could ever know.
In your short life you have brought nothing but joy to me.
Seeing you in the morning,
Your big smile that has the capacity to ignite a room with flames of love
Makes my life all the more worth living
And sets my soul on fire.

I want to do the best, most perfect, possible job I can with you.
I want to show you only the right things
I want you to be brilliant
Oh, I forgot.
You already are brilliant.

I can't comprehend where a year went.
You are growing so fast it makes me feel like crying.
Soon you would not be my baby boy anymore.
Soon you would be running and talking and I look forward to those days.
To see you laugh when you run free in the park.
To laugh out so loud when I push you high in the swing (you so do love that)

I already miss you for the days when you are grown up and I am no longer your nanny.
My heart would be broken every day from then on.
The one thing I would rest assured is that you would be a noble boy.
Loyal, well behaved.
You would be gentle and kind and humerous.
You will bring only joy and light to all you meet.
Your presence would make everyone's life worth living.
Only great blessings will follow you.
Your life will be full of health and strength and you will do great things.

Happy Birthday my baby boy (Nov 15th you would be 1 year old)
May you be truly be blessed beyond measure.
May your years be filled with love and hope.
May you always have people around you who love you and want the best for you.
May you live many many more countless years.
May your life be fruitful and you accomplish all your little heart sets out to accomplish.
I love you more than you could ever imagine.

Your nanny
