Mom's Angel

In my mind I see her
My heart touches her
Her voice fills my dreams

Tiny lips purse in concentration,
Curls bounce wildly as she moves
A piercing giggle fills the air,
And a mom's soul with pride

She attacks the world without restraint
Unfiltered emotion bubbles forth
She discovers wonder in the ordinary
Relishes every moment.

I will nurture her soul,
Protect her spirit,
Share my wisdom,
Support her dreams.

My legacy lives in her.
She will face the world unfettered
with the ties that bind my spirit.
That is my gift.

That is my prayer
for this wondrous girl.
A daughter of my dreams.
Never meant to be.
