My Child,
I love you now.
Today, tomorrow, yesterday, I have loved you.
I loved you first I saw you, knowing you were mine.
I loved you before you were born,
A mere seed in my womb, planted by love.
Watching you, I realized I loved you even then,
As I gazed into your father's eyes.
Eyes filled with longing and desire-
An emptiness long since been quenched.
I burned with a passion so helpless,
I succumbed to the will of his heart.
You are my fire, burning within my soul,
Ignited by his love- I yearn for him.
Yet complete happiness have I not yet found,
So still I search.
But please know now that even as a child,
When the pain of this world was too hard to endure
I loved you and I dreampt of you.
Now love me child as much as I have loved you.
And please, always remember me.
I love you,
Mom
