A mother’s love
A soul-cry of wonder and appreciation
Set to the music of Steen Thottrup and Jenufa Gleich — “Live as one — Be as one”
Hopeful
completely trusting
Silly and creative
wonderful and witty
funny and lovely
Impossibly brave
Your eyes shine brighter
than any invention of the human race
Your gentle touch deepens my love
With a squeeze of your delicate hand, our realities are bonded
your eyes a mystery
radiant even in rest
Steady breath, assuring me that all is well
I open my arms
your head falls happy down against my chest
A closeness even a lover cannot comprehend
carrying you within me still
I am the protector, the teacher, the advocate
The foundation upon which you stand
your footing rooting my determination
Your unassuming strength, saves me
as I cherish you within my heart, I feel it widen
And you write your little notes of adoration
presenting them quietly…
