A Message of Love for my Daughters

Please always know
That you are loved,
No matter what you do.
And know we love you,
…always have,
Just for being you.

Our love for you
Does not depend
On how you act or look.
Clever or beautiful,
We don’t care,
Not important in our book.

Before we even met you,
We loved you more
Than we knew how.
Our love for you
Surprised us;
It surprises even now.

And with each day
That passes,
We love you even more,
As you learn how
To be yourselves,
Now you’re approaching four.

We’ll love you
Unconditionally,
Each and every day.
Not just now,
Forever.
Even when you’re old and grey.
