To See You Again
As I hold my sweet baby girl
I am in such awe of your beauty
Your tiny hands and tiny feet
You are as perfect as can be
Your olive skin, and raven hair
A true angel here on earth
I feel so blessed to be
the vessel of your birth
I hold you in my arms and press
You tight against my broken heart
The pain I feel right now is
To give you a worthy start
I knew right away that mine,
you were not meant to be
I was meant to bring you here
And provide you another family
To love you and to support you
The way that I wished I could do
But everything I sacrificed
Was all for my love for you
The last day that I held you
Was 31 long years ago
Over the years my love has grown
And oh, how I miss you so.
One day soon, I hope,
I can hold you in my warm embrace
To look into your eyes once more
And place a kiss upon your face.
I can’t wait to hear of how
The years of your life have gone
I just hope that I don’t have to wait
To see you, very long.
