Taken
I walked into a room not knowing
what was going to happen.I see four beautiful faces
with their Innocent smiles
All of them but one remembers me the three that seen who
I was and ran over and gave a great warm hug
The one who doesn't remember me looked at me as if she
never seen me before. A part of my heart cracked to the sight of it
They were given presents as an early Christmas.Delight filled
their faces as they ripped off the decorated paper
They ran around as kids do.We took so many pictures it
was wonderful
They got a lot of food one of them with a bit of cake in one
hand and sweets in the other and still wanting more
It was time for us to go I firmly hugged all three and then
it came to the one who couldn't remember me I looked her
in her little blues eyes and I opened my arms and she gave
me the most love filled hug and her rosy red cheeks brushed
up against mine
They were the most beautiful kids I ever saw in my life we
finished up and I now knew why I was here.I walked out the
door trying to hold in the river of tears ready to burst out from
my eyes.they all waved goodbye but they didn't know it was the
last goodbye they will ever say to me
