As You Turn Two

My baby, my world, my all
I just want to say I love you
I lie here watching you sleep
And reminisce as you turn two

I had a funny taste one morning
Those two lines told me what I knew
I think how blessed I am
And reminisce as you turn two

Those early days I had a scare
We waited as the scan showed you
I thank Allah for your heartbeat
And reminisce as you turn two

“Girl baby” they told us as we smiled
Those precious nine months when you grew
I think of somersaults in my womb
And reminisce as you turn two

You decided to arrive a little early
Loved you at first sight, this is true
I remember your beautiful eyes
And reminisce as you turn two

At first the crying seemed non-stop
Motherhood, I had not a clue
But in time we learnt together
I reminisce as you turn two

Sleepless nights and happy days
It was cuddles that got us through
I recall the never-ending feeds
And reminisce as you turn two

Your first steps came soon after one
I pray you achieve all you pursue
I laugh at the memory of you toddling
And reminisce as you turn two

A life of travelling we share
So many airmiles we all flew
I see you with our loved ones
And reminisce as you turn two

My Houdini Baby, my Moana,
Your cheeky smiles, nine teeth to chew
I play with your signature curly hair
And reminisce as you turn two

Stickers, bubbles and Mickey Mouse
Your favourite things, to list a few
I wish for your happiness always
And reminisce as you turn two

My angel, my cutie, my child
How grateful I am to be mumma to you
MashAllah, Alhamdulillah, InshaAllah
I look forward to more memories past two


As you turn two
