I'Ll Always Love Your Mother

I'll always love your mother
Despite the things she's done

As you've filled my soul with stardust
Wrapped in moonbeams full of fun

You've the empathy of angels
With eyes brighter than the sun

It was six hours from your first breath
When I held you in our home

You filled the rooms with sunshine
And more joy I've ever known

I love to watch you sleeping
Your face caressed by the moon

Or when you wake from bad dreams
And come running to my room

I understand now one thing
As I've watched you grow

We don't live in a house
But at the end of a rainbow

Thank you so much Lori, it really means a lot to me as these are all poems about my current pain, and they have helped me gain the strength for my Daughter. Jon
