So tiny
So fragile
So small
So new
Will you always need me?
The way your head smells
Such itty bitty clothes
Your grip on my finger
Your perfect round nose
Will you always need me?
Our gaze locks together
As my body gives you milk
You reach for my face
Your body mine built
Will you always need me?
You smiled today
And giggled the next
Then you rolled over
All the milestones checked
Will you always need me?
You search to be near me
As you wake through the night
You sleep right beside me
Until the morning brings light
Will you always need me?
One month turns to two
Two becomes six
Six is now nine
It’s going too quick
Will you always need me?
You’re growing so fast
Getting bigger each day
With your brother and sister
You’re eager to play
Will you always need me?
Soon you’ll move rooms
And the milk will be gone
But my memories will stay forever
My sweet baby John
As you get bigger
Wild and free
Please don’t forget
To always need me.
