My baby, dear
Looking into your eyes
So much trust I see
Staring right back at me
Your hand searching for mine
A comfort in knowing
I'm there all the time
Holding you close, not letting go
Wanting a hug before you grow
And turn my hugs away
Getting bigger now
A kiss on the cheek
Why does that smile look so meek?
A little girl has broken your heart?
A little boy has torn apart
The affection you've given?
"You'll be alright." I say
"Don't worry, there'll be another
Again, one day."
Another hug around the neck
With a flow of memories
All coming back
Watching and waiting
'Till the day does come
When you go off with another someone
Sitting there tall and prooud
Watching you get your paper
Standing out among the crowd
Next thing I know
I'm fixing your hair
For your wedding day is now here
Walking slowly down the path
A child at each side
My time, I am trying to abide
Holding you close
One last time
A tear comes down a cheek of mine
A poem I wrote back in May 2000 - before I was even pregnant with Xarry. :) Kinda silly, kinda corny, but I like it.
