My child

My darling child, I want to give

you the world but can't.

I want to shield you but I know

I won't always be there.

You have lightened up my world

all over again.

You brought the joy back into

my life and your father's.

My child, be safe and know you

will always be loved no matter

how mad your father and I may

get at each other or you.

We just want the best for you,

my dear sweet child.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The reason I wrote this poem is I just had a baby in December and I want to have something that she could read when she is older to know how much I love her.

In time our daughter will learn of all we have sacrificed for her. She will know as well in time that we trully love her. I know every day go's by that she is happy. I am happy knowing that she is, and when I get home I know she is going to smille big for me. But not as big as mine for geting to finally do what I have promiced you. I am going to do everything in my power to make us a happy family. No matter the pain, tears, or sacrifices that we must endure, we shall be stead fast in our resolve.

Miss you both so much,
Love you both so terrably.
