Today Maggie is 4 months old.

She continues to amaze, challenge, and love me every single day.

For you, my baby girl.

In my daughter’s eyes, I am a hero.

I am strong and wise,

And I know no fear.

But the truth is plain to see:

She was sent to rescue me,

I see who I want to be, in my daughter’s eyes.

In my daughter’s eyes, everyone is equal,

Darkness turns to light,

And the world is at peace.

This miracle God gave to me,

Gives me strength when I am weak.

I find reason to believe, in my daughter’s eyes.

When she wraps her hand around my finger,

Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.

Everything becomes a little clearer.

I realize what life is all about.

It’s hangin’ on when your heart has had enough;

It’s givin’ more when you feel like givin’ up.

I’ve seen the light: it’s in my daughter’s eyes.

In my daughter’s eyes, I can see the future.

A reflection of who I am,

And what will be.

And though she’ll grow and, some day, leave:

Maybe raise a family,

When I’m gone, I hope you’ll see,

How happy she made me,

For I’ll be there, in my daughter’s eyes.

— Martina McBride

Happy Four Months Maggie! Your Mama and Daddy love you!

I forgot to mention: today, in addition to being Maggie’s four month birthday, it is the feast of her patron, St. Gianna.

St. Gianna, pray for us!
