Diana Goddess of the Moon

(Dianna-Marie was born in 1979) Twenty years old and married to my best friend I lived upstairs my parents in a duplex on St. Michel Each night before we went to bed we prayed together With young fingers linked, love was never an effort... It was a cold January day in Montreal that year We huddled together beneath the covers and laughed "Wouldn't it be nice if we made a baby" he said to me Guess the angels were charmed and heard his plea, Cuz nine months later we received a bundle of joy To our great surprise it was a baby girl We didn't get an ultra sound we didn't need to know Her room we painted yellow - her curtains blue I was supposed to call her Jade but he said, "Who wants to call a baby after a stone " and so we named her Diana "Moon Goddess"" As the years went by she became our jewel Creative like her mother, strong like her dad She had a penchant for truth, trust, and beauty We loved her from the start and years later we realized that she was conceived on the wings of our youthful prayers. We look at her and see "us " everywhere in her eyes, in her smile, in her heart... She was our first born daughter A constant reminder of the love we once shared. July 22, 2018
