A MOTHER WHISPERS TO HER DAUGHTER
A mother is caressing her baby
her happiness flows in tears…
As she holds her daughter’s tiny hand,
she kisses her forehead
then whispers in her ear…
“Would you like to know a secret? It may sound crazy but it’s true…
Long before you came along…I was in love with you.
You were a thought I had when I was young…a wish that persevered…
a dream that reached perfection on the day that you appeared…
There may come a time..a moment in your life…before your childhood is through
when you might stop and wonder…when I first fell in love with you.
I’m not sure how it happened…I’m not sure how I knew
but in my heart I’ve always had a place reserved for you.
A place both warm and comforting…where my love for you survived…
and where it waited patiently…for the day you would arrive…
I had an ocean of love stored up for you
awaiting the day our lives would intertwine…
and I will be forever blessed
that…with all the other mother oceans out there…
you fell into mine.
