Before I go Options

Before I go

I came home and didn't expect you to be in the room.
You were so sweet there sleeping with your grandma.
My little girl, my angel.

I felt like I did when I first held you in my arms
The day I cried for the beauty you are.

I felt it rush upon me as I picked you up to put you in your own bed
Your tender breaths in and out
the rushed sighs as I laid you upon my chest to put you back to sleep.

I sat there staring at you like I had never seen you before
No words can get this right
Nothing could explain it
ever

How could they know
that connection
I am yours as you are mine

I sat there in the dark and looked at you
Watched as you stirred, trying so hard to wake yourself up

I reminisced of the day I first saw you
How you went from movements in my belly
To a beautiful face looking up at me.

Never in my life had I seen anything like you
and never will I again

I just remember laying there with you
thinking of how much I love you

watching your eyes open for just a moment
before you closed them
opened
closed
opened

then

you smiled at me

right before
you went back to sleep.

nothing can take the place of this

Yes it's a mother to daughter poem. I wrote it for my baby guRL one night when I came home and saw her laying there...
