been a mama now...

... for 11 + years ....

the days go by, and now my first babe has a shoe size bigger than mine. (a size and half bigger at that)
she borrowed my jeans tonight
she gave me the knowing eye - of wisdom and wealth.
she really is no longer a child.
and yet...
she laughs still with child abandon
she loves still with whole heart and soul
she looks beyond the wall that masks us.
giving. trying. exploring. knowing. growing. into. this amazing woman,
who says she is not ready yet to be a woman but is ok with the term lady!
