A MOTHER WHISPERS TO HER DAUGHTER

 

 A mother is caressing her baby

her happiness flows in tears…

As she holds her daughter’s tiny hand, 

she kisses her forehead 

then whispers in her ear…

 

“Would you like to know a secret?  It may sound crazy but it’s true…

Long before you came along…I was in love with you.

 

You were a thought I had when I was young…a wish that persevered…

a dream that reached perfection on the day that you appeared…

 

There may come a time..a moment in your life…before your childhood is through

when you might stop and wonder…when I first fell in love with you.

 

I’m not sure how it happened…I’m not sure how I knew

but in my heart I’ve always had a place reserved for you.

 

A place both warm and comforting…where my love for you survived…

and where it waited patiently…for the day you would arrive…

 

I had an ocean of love stored up for you

awaiting the day our lives would intertwine…

and I will be forever blessed 

that…with all the other mother oceans out there…

you fell into mine.
