The wonder of you

A poem: Mother to a Child

Ooohh - today it happened.

It seems like I had been waiting

my whole life

to meet you

And there you were.

The wonder of you.

I remember counting 10 fingers and toes.

Looking deeply into your beautiful eyes

framed with long lashes.

Watching you sleep.

Sensing your soul.

Beautiful - inside and out.

I remember when you leapt inside me before you were born

Moving gently when I played music

Swaying with me as I lightly danced

Singing softly to you.

I remember my 

so looking forward 

to 

welcoming you

to the world.

So long ago.

But just like yesterday.

I remember the dream for you is forever:

Blessings

and a wonderful life filled with love.

Always.
