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.
