While you once lie in wait

Warm and safe within the womb

How I dreamt and envisioned

The color of your now dark, wide eyes

The contour of your tiny nose and mouth

Such delicate features, so precious still…

Wonderment and joy is your constant gift

Your love unconditional and pure

Your understanding of life encompassing

Make you wise beyond your six years.

Angels must have whispered life’s secrets

Though you keep them locked within your heart

Releasing them in perfect synchrony…

He must have known when I needed you most.

Life without you would engulf me

In wretched agonizing pain…

Something I can not fathom, however

How was life before you?

To ponder this is unimaginable…

For many of those moments

Have been erased from my capsule of time

Those are all but distant dreams

Caught in a web of the surreal.
