A Promise
I Promise….. I Promise….. I Promise….. I Promise…..
I Promise….. I Promise….. I Promise….. I Promise…..
I Promise this of myself to you. To be the best mom in the world. To cherish every single day and Thank God for the miracle of you! (I wrote this for our birth mom and our new baby six weeks before Makenzi came into this world last August.) © Dawn Stluka
To hold you, feed you, change you and bathe you as you enter your new life.
To comfort you, love you, talk to you and cherish your being in my life.
To play with you, encourage you to roll over, give you something to smile for, make you reach as you crawl and cheer as you take your first step.
To guide you in school, color with you, help you study for tests, answer questions about dating, and reassure you when your best friend lets you down.
To tell you that I love you-every single day, to teach you right from wrong, to make you reach high, want more and realize that with love comes respect.
To teach you about your birth, share your special journey with you, tell you about your mother’s unselfish decision and our blessing.
To remind you of your heritage, share with you your past and help mold you into a beautiful young adult.
To make mistakes, learn from them and never give up.
