How do you grow

An inch everyday

My god my arms hurt

How much do you weigh

One year ago you were

Still in my belly

Now like a big girl

You’re eating toast and jelly

Wasn’t it yesterday

I rocked you to sleep

You laid in your swing

Without making a peep

Can I somehow stop time

Can’t I please press pause

Let’s just live in the moment

It’s for a good cause

I need every frame

To sink in and last

Because the way time flies

Right now is the past

Whether you crawl or walk

Whatever age you may be

I will always be mama

And you’re forever baby
