You are all grown up today,
But there's something I want to say.
As I carried you each so long,
I was worried something could go wrong.
I felt your tiny lives inside,
I felt so much joy and pride.
Then when you were in my arms,
I truly felt that I'd been charmed.
With your skin so soft to my touch,
I loved you all, so very much.
I counted little fingers and toes,
And kissed your little turned up nose.
I couldn't sleep the whole night through,
For I could only think of you.
Then I knew, I'd walk a mile
Just to see your precious smile.
So now I thank our Lord above,
For giving me you all to love.
