For my sweet Noah…
If I could rewind time
I’d travel way back when
You were growing in me
And another child we’d win.
If I could rewind time
I’d feel you move in me
With my belly oh so round
Feeling kicks and knees!
If I could rewind time
I’d go back to the day
At 11:55 at night
I saw your sweet, sweet face.
If I could rewind time
I’d want to hold you tight
To rock you for several hours
And love you with all my might.
If I could rewind time
I’d gaze into your eyes
While your busy nursing
While your busy nursing
And even enjoy your cries.
If I could rewind time
I’d cherish your precious smile
Watching for the very first time
Taking time to enjoy it for awhile.
If I could rewind time
I’d marvel at the swaddle
Your daddy can get you so tight
After giving you your bottle.
If I could rewind time
I’d watch you with your brother
Placing his favorite toys around you…
And then adding another.
If I could rewind time
To Palm Springs is where I’d be
There for Daddy’s business trip
Enjoying time with us three.
If I could rewind time
I’d cherish the love I see
Between these two brothers
Best friends I know you will be.
If I could rewind time
I’d listen to you coo.
I’d cherish every sound I hear
Knowing it is coming from you.
If I could rewind time
I’d watch you laying flat
With your back on the floor
At the toys your arms would bat.
If I could rewind time
And see your little chest
Scooting along the floor
As you tried to crawl your best.
If I could rewind time
Hearing “Mama” for the first time
Would be music to my ears
And I’d take the time to cry.
If I could rewind time
I’d watch you pull yourself up
Cruising along the furniture
And drinking from your brother’s cup.
If I could rewind time
I’d watch your very first step
How you cutely hobbled
And into my arms you leapt
If I could rewind time
I wouldn’t have any stress
Even without enough sleep
Your sweet face, I would continually caress.
If I could rewind time
I’d stop and take it in.
I’d enjoy every second
On my face, a permanent grin.
Since these times have come and gone
Each memory I will treasure
I’ll thank God for this precious boy
Who has brought our lives much pleasure!
No, time can’t be rewound
So I’ll enjoy today
I’ll marvel at your precious face
And get down on the floor and play
I love you, Noah! Happy First Birthday!
Ah… that's so sweet! What a cute little guy. He's just a month older than my little girl. Hard to believe she'll be a year old next month. Time sure does fly.
Like that didn't make me tear up….
So sweet!
ooo very sweet!! Love that first picture :-)
How wonderful. Time really goes too fast!
