Not So Wordless Wednesday

Birds softly chirp, the dew fades away

I rise from my bed to start a new day

I walk down the hall, in a very slow pace

and into her room, I see Emersyn's* face

Her hair is shiny, strands light red

little tiny fingers clinging to her bed

Her head slowly turns, opens her eyes,

crinkles her face to let out her cries

I gently pick her up to see a small tear,

and whisper in a low voice,

"It's okay...Mommy's here".

*This is a poem that my mom wrote for me when I was a baby. I substituted Emersyn's name in the poem, originally it was my name. :) I think it is just so special. I hope to someday write something like this for Emersyn. I had this poem memorized at a very young age and it has stuck with me even after all these years as a reminder of my mom's love, a love that I now can relate to with a daughter of my own. Thank you Mama!!
