Dear Huck...

 

Dear Sweet Baby Huck,

I hold you in my arms

thinking of all the things

that make you my beautiful son.

Your tiny fingers reach for me,

grasp my hand,

and this physical touch

goes deeper.

An invisible cord connecting us.

A force far greater

than you or I will ever comprehend.

You know my presence at all times

sensing our bond

even when we are apart

 

You drift off to sleep,

a watchful eye always on me,

then flash a smile.

I wonder what you dream of,

who you’ll be someday.

Your precious breath reminds me

I gave you life.

Four months have passed

without ease,

but frustrations with challenges,

raising such a spirited baby.

Your gift of life,

of energy,

of infinite love

is the best gift

ever received

this first Mother’s Day

of mine.

You are my baby.

I love you,

always and forever.
