My Miracle

My Miracle

From my belly she came, so beautiful, so perfect.
In awe was I of this tiny thing, to her each night lullabies I’d sing.
Each day she grew more beautiful than the last.
Each day I beheld this little miracle, growing so fast.
Still beautiful, a toddler, perfect in every way,
Inquisitive, playing and learning, all the day.
Spending every moment sharing
Giving all my love and caring.
Watching her board the bus to school
Left alone thinking only of my little jewel.
Off to college to find her life
Still sharing with me her struggles and strife.
Her life finally found, a husband, a job
Turning away, never knowing how my heart would throb.
No longer my little miracle, my life she has gone
How terribly satirical after giving my all, weeping dusk until dawn.

Thank you Dennis. I believe this to be one of my most poor of attempts. Perhaps you have given me courage to most one that I have been working on for the last few weeks.
