To My Son~
I carried you under my heart for 282 days.
I loved you every single one of them.
You changed my life in so many ways,
before we ever even saw each other.
And when we finally met, you looked right into my eyes,
I knew I'd never saw anyone or anything so beautiful.
You are a constant joy to my heart,
you brighten my days and teach me so many things.
You are my treasure.
In awe I watch you grow and learn and change,
almost before my eyes.
I am so proud of you.
I thank God every day for you.
For the chance to love you and know you
and experience life with you.
I will strive all the days of my life to help you.
I will teach you of goodness, of kindness, of forgiveness,
and to love yourself.
And you, my little love, I will cherish all the days of my life.
Little Girl Lost
I don't recognize this person I see
staring back in the mirror at me.
Where is the girl with the light in her eyes
a smile on her lips and love in her life?
Out of my reach but still in my sight,
she's running,
running for her life.
Her innocence lost and broken dreams scattered,
she's vainly protecting a heart that's broken and tattered.
What I wouldn't give to turn back the clock
and just once more be that
little girl lost.
Running Like Madness
Trapped
in a dark place a silent place
Unfullfilled and alone
in a world so cold
and unforgiving of weakness
So ancient, so old
an unwritten code
Dancing in darkness
forbidden treasures untold
Lying in wait at the edge of the night
Tempting, so close
taking sudden flight
Flutters like snowflakes melting on the ground
Tremblng moonlight, whispery and faint
Singing so softly a frightening tune
Butterfly kisses
too gentle too kind
Too many too late
too lost in the night
Escaping this dark too silent space
Running like madness
losing the race
Waiting
I reach out to you with my mind, but you can not find it.
I call out to you with my heart, but you can not hear it
I follow you with my eyes, but you do not know it.
I stand on the edges of your life, my heart in my hands
my love open to you, ready to recive you in my arms.
But you do not see me.
