New Poem for Week My Gift


My Gift
My breath stops as you take your first.  In that moment I dedicate my life to you, to ensure your life is love filled, and you to never know hunger or thirst.
A wave of joy begins, to creep up my spine, first a slight tingling, then a glimmer of warmth, until it radiates through my smile.
I never knew love could be so beautiful until I met you.  My desire for childish antics, disappear as a vapor, as I stare in awe thinking of the wonderful journey you just came through.
Wrapped in a blanket of love, I gently push back a curl as I send a silent prayer of thanks above.
Never before have I known such joy, not even as a toddler with my first new toy.  For all the stories of kindness and eternal unconditional love came true.  For in my arms, I hold the most precious gift life has to offer, and that my darling daughter is you.
