God Chose You

God chose you for me to raise; every step of every mile I loved teaching you to walk, prompted by my loving gaze you made all my worries and anxieties well worthwhile. God chose you for me to raise. It was so long ago, it's like a dream trapped in a maze but when I'm lucky such memories come and stay awhile although lately time has muddled my thoughts within a haze. When you were born I was rendered speechless and immobile and instantly knew I loved you; and would love you always as my life comes to an end I can face death with a smile. God chose you for me to raise.

An emotional write with much potential for swelling tears. Your lines are beautiful, as is the feeling they deliver. I was touched from line one throughout and suspect I'll still feel this poem long after I click away. Superb emotional impact, Emile. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
