Give Me a Kiss Mommy

"I shall be telling this with a sigh". Robert Frost, 'The Road Less Travelled'. Mommy, Maybe I can't remember the moment I was born- Even the moment the announcer blew his horn. I will never know the moment I was conceived- But there is one thing that I know and believe. That I shall be telling this love story with a sigh- Because you will forever be the apple of my eye. You blessed me with a name when we met at birth- Give me a kiss Mommy, you don't know it's worth. When, I cried dear Mother, I wanted no one but you- Your smell, your caress no one else would simply do. You see you were there Mommy when I felt so alone- You hugged me, kissed me, even tried to atone. For the ones that hurt me pierced my young heart- Sealed it with a kiss you said we would never part. There were even times that I didn't wish to live- Kissed me, held my hand said I have so much to give. Give me a kiss Mommy, for I'll forever need that touch- That once healed my heart, oh how I love you so much. I shed a tear for each of my needs you've met- I can't do enough for you but I shall never forget. Give me a kiss Mommy please let me reminisce- Of a love so pure , please Mommy give me a kiss.

Beautiful Valerie! Maybe check out the 4th line from the bottom. I think you might be missing the word "of" in the middle of that sentence - or, maybe I am reading it wrong.
