on this side of Heaven


sitting up, spitting up
learning how to stand.
saying words you've always just heard,
that now you understand.


sleepovers, and pillowfights,
discovering your dreams...
learning how to ride a bike
and playing on softball teams



first love, first kiss
first time you say goodbye
first chance to make right what's wrong
first time you selflessly cry.


may you be all He ever dreamed you'd be

on this side of Heaven
