~I wrote this for my daughter, who is now two, in the hope that one day she would understand how much she means to me and the happiness she has brought me~

I smile as you entered the world only
only a few months ago,
Love and affection
Is what i always wanted to show.

I noticed your father held me back,
he could'nt love,
It was only one thing he lack.

But now I have you with me
Night and day,
And to be honest,
Im glad I didnt let him stay.

I know you may be angry at
a certain age,
But I hope things will be different,
As you read this page.

Your truly the best thing that has
happened to me,
A mother is what I always
wanted to be.

And now I'm with you all the time,
It makes me feel like,
Im in some sort or fairy tale
or nursery rhyme.

Beth, this is lovely, I am sure that one day she will understand  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
