My HOPE

{Post: 304/365}

I found this poem in one of my stacks of papers. I don't remember when I wrote it but I would like to share it now.

once upon a moment

I carried a dream

in my womb

he touched my heart

for only a moment

but I have not

forgotten

I will never forget

he wasn't mine to keep

but he was, IS

and always will be

a cherished moment

of HOPE

Angel Baby

stress and worry

for an entire 

pregnancy

and then

the birth

of an angel baby

my son

my light

my joy

my gift to hubby

my final creation

of blood and heart and soul

the light of my life

I hope the lessons I learned

from Abba and Sissy

help me

be an even better mother

for you

Son

my firstborn son

my lifeline

in a tumultuous life

the greatest joy

and deepest sorrows

both

from babyhood

to teenage years

to now

a grown man

a good heart

a beautiful mind

a sensitive soul

and a man I am proud of

strong

able

sometimes impulsive

with his own unique

perspective

finding his way

he is beautiful

he is my son
