Forever Will I Love You
15 Nov 2005

Forever will I love you 

You will always be my mom...
As I sit with angels I look down at you and point proudly See . .See her . .over there,
That's her! Did you know I could hear your thoughts at night when you used to lie in bed staring. rubbing your hand on your belly
Looking up at the ceiling in the dark wondering things. Who I would look more like About how my laugh would sound my first steps.
Books that you would read to me, ones with pictures," I like Those!" The park...how you would walk me in a stroller to play on the swings, How about after I ate ice cream the dog excitedly licking my face almost knocking me down, You just smiled when you read that I could see you Do you know I call you "mommy"? When you are in the kitchen I pretend I am there also and you can see me I sit at the table and draw with crayons I made a picture for the refrigerator Yellow, blue, red and green, Look its of you and me with a sky and trees. I always think of you holding my hand taking me to church, One of my socks keeps falling down, Mommy . . .I like the way you kiss my sisters goodnight on the forehead and tuck them in I play with them in their dreams, They don't know me but if you ask if they ever dreamed of playing with a little girl they would say yes, That's me. Do you remember that bird each early spring that used to always return and sing. It would have been right around the time of my birthday That was me to . . . I would sing "I love you" I am always along side you, Sometimes you can feel me, a brush against your dress, a breeze on your face, that's when I kiss you, You have always kept me, in your mind and heart Thank you! One day we will be together in heaven and you will cry and lift me in your arms and I will hug you so very tight and never let go, But for now I have to, No matter where you go, what you do I am with you, Always know that I am "Your Little Angel", I love you mommy . . .
