 Precious baby

Beautiful boy

How did you grab my heart

With that sweet little hand?

How did you wrap me around

That tiny finger?

Nine months and a few odd days

And I am head over heels in love with you

Does every mommy heart nearly burst

When she sees the life she helped create?

Who knew love could be so immense?

Precious baby

Beautiful boy

Thank you for letting me be your mommy

For allowing me the privilege of carrying you inside me

To feel you grow and kick and hiccup

To let me know you before I ever saw you

Did you know how much I loved you then?

Do you know how much I love you now?

As I tell you goodbye today

As tears stream down my face

I feel like the most blessed woman in the world

That you are mine

And I am yours

And time or space or even death itself is no match for our bond

Always I will love you

Forever I will miss you

And ever and ever you will be

My precious baby

My beautiful boy
