The Greatest Gift

My child

I dreamed of you

long before you

came to be.

I knew in my heart

that the greatest gift

would be you…

I have been blessed

with two children

who taught me the ways

of Motherhood.

I gave up my body

and you took it all~

my blood, my pain

my milk, my sleep

The tears

The Joys

the purest love

you ripped me apart

and put me back together

you broke my heart a time

or two

you filled my heart

through and through

Our journey together

has been precious to me

no matter the cost

I have been given

the greatest gift~

You.
