Charlotte at 1(happy birthday!)

a year today has gone away
but I have you still
and its all ok

and I get to watch
you learn to do
the things I forgot that I knew

you know me as
the hairy one
who likes to read to you for fun

and if you should
have to grow
this is for the best I know

I shall always
keep you in my mind
your baby laugh and gummy smile

dancing and walking
in the year
for me shall be a special cheer

and this is love
from me to you
from none to one and one to two
