When your cry first reached my ears,
The melody of emotions it unleashed
Grateful, I thanked the heavens above
Cradling you in arms of pure bliss.
Tears welled up at your first giggle,
Toothless grin, a sheer delight.
You, a sight for sore eyes,
More than dreams could ever portray.
Yet now, I long for your words,
A gaze that meets mine, even fleetingly.
I yearn for your eyes to find me,
When I call out, my dearest love.
You spin in circles, entrancing me,
Dizzying whirl that lulls my sight.
But within your world of twirling wonders,
I ponder the secrets you hold so tight.
Now I understand, you’re different,
In ways I never imagined or desired.
But destined you were, my child,
Magical, brilliant, beyond all comprehension.
Love resides eternally within me,
Unwavering, no matter the trials.
I will forever stand by your side,
Listening to your unspoken words,
Waiting patiently for your awareness to dawn.
I am the one who knows you,
Loves you unconditionally, completely.
You, exquisitely crafted and unique,
I am humbled to be deemed worthy,
Of this extraordinary calling,
To be known as your mother, forever.
