    One By One...

    One... day we fell in love
    Two .. of us forever
    Three... little words meant to last; Our
    Four... eyes looking at each other
    Five... months before we said "I Do"
    Six... was the day in the month of June
    Seven... months later,a baby to be
    Eight... more months seem like Eternity
    Nine... which is the month September, Came-
    Ten.... tiny fingers and toes to remember
    Eleven ... people I called to warn
    Twelve... was the day of the month you were born
    One... on the hour; the minutes of twenty four
    Two... big blue eyes & so much more
    Three... hard hours of labor
    Four... shots to sedate
    Five... minute test of the APGAR score
    Six... pounds, one once was her weight
    Deliverly went fine with nothing going wrong,
    a tiny little girl only
    18" inches long
    19... years old, I got pregnant with you, but i'd be
    20... by time you were due; Pregnant again at 21...
    22... months apart; our daughter and son
    Years go by, and both of you are growing
    Teenagers now, and adulthood is showing
    Soon the two of you will leave the nest
    Mom and Dad will get to rest
    -One... will leave- in
    -Two... more years
    -Three... of us left to dry our tears
    -Four... years from now, you'll both be gone...
    One... day- just
    Two... will carry on......
