Remembering

Sweet Baby

Do you know I have already seen you?

You are so far away from me,

yet I have felt the touch of your soft skin.

I have stared at you in awe…

marveling at the fact that you are mine.
I have felt you in my arms,

as I touched your fine hair

and stroked your smooth, round cheeks.

I have looked at your sleeping face,

as I wondered if you looked like me or your daddy.
Oh, how I do not want to awake from these dreams

and return to my place of empty arms.
But for now I will.

I can only try to remember you, little one,

And the feeling of you nestled in my embrace.

I will try to hold onto that feeling,

finally knowing what it is like to be a Mother.
I will try to remember that dream with hope and not with sadness,

Praying that maybe…

Just maybe

My Sweet Baby

Is not so far away after all.
