January thoughts
I start this year thinking of you.
I love to be near you in my heart.
I remember so many things about you.
The color of your hair when you were born.
I remember how tiny and fragile you appeared.
I was told you would not break; yet, I held you as if you would.
You were fascinating to watch as you moved around in your sleep.
Tiny fingers and toes were what I held most.
When your eyes began to focus,
I talked to you more and more.
Then I sang to you every song I knew.
You listened and later began to smile at me.
Our hearts sang together.
I loved you more than I ever believed it was possible to love.
God gave me his greatest gift ... that of a child.
