The day
I embraced you in my arms for the very first time,
I thought I could never love you more. . . .
Through your first smile, your first tooth, your first steps,
Never thought I could never love you more. . .
And in those awkward toddler times—the days of curiosity and adventures and discoveries,
Never thought I could never love you more …
- those days of hurt knees and hurt feelings, of making friends and taking in the world around you,
Never thought I could never love you more. . .
And in those lovely young woman times– those times of moods and mysteries, and joys and heartaches,
Never thought I could never love you more. . .
And still, always, day by day, more and more beautiful. . .
Never thought I could love you more.
I love you my Sweet Colleen..

there is truly no love on earth like the love for a child. i believe nothing can even come close to or compare to it!
Colleen – the Lord has truly given you a gift and a blessing in your Mother! Praise God!

Heidi, your words come from a place so deep! So beautiful. There is nothing like a mother’s love for her babes!
I also wanted to tell you that I will be praying over you today that the Lord will fill your heart and mouth with HIS words tonight. HE will do it….
