I hold your gaze, captivated by your searching, sparkling
eyes, which reach deep into my soul, seeking out truths, trying to make some
sense of this bright, new world.
I cuddle your tiny body and a bond is formed that will
remain forever unbroken. All defences are down, raw emotions unfettered and
overwhelming love consumes me.
What will the future hold? How will you change and adapt in
this cruel modern world? How can I keep you safe and what can I ever say that
will hold true?
She is born and I am reborn, new life flowing through us,
each learning new ways to appreciate the wonders of the world with wide,
curious eyes.
“Imprint the knowledge, pass the message on
You know I have to let you go
One day I have to say goodbye
You know that I will have to leave and give up to the
light”
