The First Time...

The first time ever I saw your face... I thought the sun rose in your eyes. I was moved to tears. You took my breathe away, my pain ceased, there was just serenity in that space where there was no you. I knew and felt the meaning of “you had me at hello”. I am now responsible for a new life, the beginning of joy. Little hands and feet that will brush against my face, the sweet smell of you. My Love...and the first time ever I lay with you...I am scared to hurt you, crush you, break you. How have I lived this long with no you, a piece of me was broken not knowing when you would come. We will cherish you, put you first, we will be selfless to keep you safe...songs will be written about you, poems dedicated to you and pictures created with your image. The first time I ever saw your face was in my dreams, it was the one I will never forget. I can close my eyes and replay the sight of you in my arms, at my breast, smiling. I am mesmerized by the tiny you God has created in his image. I am in love again, I need two hearts, it won’t all fit. First time ever I saw your face I melt away, I forget that I thought it would never happen, that I thought I was cursed, that I ached for you ever day. You smell sweet, better than fresh baked chocolate chips or macaroni and cheese, your the new Thanksgiving, my Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The first time I ever saw your face I said Thank you God ... for trusting me take care of your child.
