I remember your infant smiles. The way your raised arms would Wrap around my neck in trust The way you used to call my Name with your toddler giggles. I can still feel the weight of you sleeping curled up against me with your golden curled head against my chest I remember looking down at your face With such wonder that a child could be So beautiful, smart and perfect I was blessed to have your love And then you were gone, off to live a better life, one I was no longer part of. My heart cried and I couldn’t believe that in a simple moment I lost you. The moments I've waited for flashed through my mind. Your first day of school, your first school dance, your first puppy love crush. There is no way for you to know how badly I wanted to be there. You can’t imagine how many times in the past seven years you have crossed my mind. Or how tightly I hold you in my heart with love that has only gotten stronger since I last seen your angel face. The memory of me faded with your days of toddler delight. In my mind they burn brightly, forever etched in my heart. No matter what happens in the passing years, my love will always follow you asyou grow into the beautiful woman I know you will become. By Tara Bassler 18-May-2003 "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." -Friedrich Nietzsche |

Thank you all for responding. I do appreciate the kind words! I was going through old poetry and actually found some that I haven't posted here. I'm glad you all liked it  |
