she's five...

gotta hold on easy as i let you go

gonna tell you how much i love you

though you think you already know

i remember i thought you

looked like an angel

wrapped in pink so soft and warm

you've had me wrapped around

your finger since the day you were born...

(wren & momma - 02/03/05)
***

you're beautiful baby from the outside in

chase your dreams

but always know the road

that'll lead you home again

go on, take on this whole world

but to me you know

you'll always be, my little girl...

(wren - one year)
***
when you were in trouble
that crooked little smile
could melt my heart of stone
now look at you,
i've turned around
and you've almost grown
sometimes you're asleep
i whisper "i love you"
in the moonlight at your door
as i walk away,
i hear you say, "daddy love you more"...
(wren - age 2)

(wren & mousey - age 2)

***
you're beautiful baby from the outside in
chase your dreams
but always know the road
that'll lead you home again
go on, take on this whole world
but to me you know
you'll always be, my little girl...

(wren - age 3)

(wren & mousey - age 3)

***
someday, some boy will come

and ask me for your hand

but i won't say "yes" to him

unless i know, he's the half

that makes you whole,

he has a poet's soul,

and the heart of a man's man

i know he'll say that he's in love

but between you and me

he won't be good enough

(wren & mousey & coco-cupcake - age 4)

***
you're beautiful baby from the outside in

chase your dreams

but always know the road

that'll lead you home again

go on,

take on this whole world

but to me you know

you'll always be, my little girl...

***

all our love to

our dearest wren mariann!
