PRECIOUS GIFT
 
For many months I waited to see him.
It was a boy - so I had been told.
Oh, how I longed to touch him
and look at his little fingers and toes. 


Nothing could have prepared me
When I finally saw his beautiful face.
My emotions overwhelmed me 
As I held him in a gentle embrace.  
 
I felt the love deep within my soul.
It was hard to believe he was mine.
He was so perfect - God's blessing
As memories took me back in time.

I kissed his face time and time again.
No matter how hard I tried
As I held him - my feelings took over
And the tears pooled in my eyes.
My heart nearly broke the day I left 
As the roads between us are too far apart.
But, he will come to know his grandma
As he will feel the love within my heart.
