to see their faces
to hold their hands
to shower them with love
to watch them grow
to guide their path
to teach and learn from them
to share their joys
to comfort their sorrows
to fight off their fears
to feel their love
to care more deeply than I've ever known
to love them from within my soul
I am here waiting
for your gentle smiles
for your joy filled laughter
for your tiny fingers in my hand
for your endless questions
for your thoughtful wisdom
for your unique and magnificent qualities
for your unassuming wonder
for your unconditional love
for your unmistakable connection
for your soul fulfilling presence
for your world changing existence
for your light to shine upon my life
