Little one… you remain… <br />the center of my soul <br />You are the child I cared for… <br />you made my circle whole <br /> <br />I know you don’t remember me… <br />the fun we had at play <br />You would hide and I would seek… <br />I miss it to this day <br /> <br />I have often closed my eyes… <br />imagining you are there <br />And memories of your happiness <br />are answers to my prayers <br /> <br />I love you more than life itself <br />yet you might never know <br />The hardest day I ever lived <br />the day I let you go <br /> <br />I taught you… to be the best… <br />at everything you do <br />I taught you… to reach for stars… <br />to make your dreams come true <br /> <br />You taught me… to love a child… <br />unconditionally <br />You taught me… the pain in loss… <br />of dreams in destiny <br /> <br />When the world stops turning… <br />when we breathe our last <br />In some heaven’s distant time… <br />our souls will find the past <br /> <br />Then you can tell me everything… <br />your growing that I’ve missed <br />And you will know that while I lived… <br />each night, your dreams, I kissed <br /> <br />© 1987 JVD<br /><br />Jane Van Doe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-night-kiss-2/
