My child
You are my gift...my reward for it all.
I wonder who you will fall in love with.
What you will “Be” and do.
I wonder how life will be when you are no longer…my child.
But you are YOU.
You changed this life forever, nine years ago - a real angel on this earth, I truly do believe.
The other night I realized - we are halfway there, and soon you will no longer need, me.
Tears streamed down my face.
My Child, oh how I love you…
I hope you will remember me as being a good mom, or maybe even a great mom.
I hope you will remember your childhood with sweet thoughts, like the candy you love so much.
I hope I’ve shown you a new way…
A way to always love you.
The creative, artistic, emotional, true empath that you are – I see you.
Your heart, so kind and big it sometimes overwhelms you.
Your laugh, so contagious and joyful it beams with brightness.
Your wit at an age so young, leaves me in awe of you…
Please remember my little one, to always be, so beautifully you.
My child, my child your soul has healed mine.
My child, my child your love so unconditional.
My child, my child oh how I love you.
I get to live again through your eyes.
I get to be a child again through your eyes.
I get to see myself, through your eyes…
And while I may miss the days of when you were just a baby, I then remember, my baby you will always be…
My biggest joy now is to watch you grow - into the powerful little being that you are.
Always and forever believe in you, my little star.
Because you have shown me a new way too…
Through you, I’ve learned to love the child within me.
My child, my child oh how I love you.
My child, my child your soul has healed mine.
My child, my child your love so unconditional.
My child.

Such a wonderful poem 🫶🏼 although I’m already 25, I can guarantee you I still need my mom ALL the time, and I’m sure your little one will need you and love your company no matter their age.
Thank you for this beautiful piece ❣️
