Slow Down
I love the sound of you breathing
It puts my mind at ease
I know these moments are precious
Sometimes I wish time would freeze
I want to hold onto you forever
But I also love watching you grow
You're so tiny and beautiful
And my love is sure to show
I don't know how I became so lucky
So blessed with these precious three
My mind is still in disbelief
knowing I have daughters such as these
I'll be the best mom I know to be
I'll cherish your every smile
I'll always love you unconditionally
Now, if you'll just stay small for a little while
