A FATHERS LOVE

Fathers day is around the corner, just

a few days away. 

Yesterday I was approached to make a fathers day

frame for a friend of Kd's mom.

Kd asks if I can make it similar to one I had made for

Baby Boy on his first fathers Day.

It is what I will work on today.

Kd sends me a picture of the one

I had made for BB as I can't remember

and there, on that frame is this most beautiful poem

I had forgotten about:

A FATHERS LOVE

BEFORE YOU WERE CONCEIVED

I WANTED YOU.

BEFORE YOU WERE BORN,

I LOVED YOU.

BEFORE YOU WERE HERE AN HOUR

I WOULD DIE FOR YOU.

THIS IS THE MIRACLE OF LIFE.

This is the way a Mother feels also.

Yes, both my babies are adults,

I am reminded of that often lately.

Yet, when I look at them, it is

not the adults I see but the same babies

I rocked to sleep, nurtured to be

who they are today. It makes me sad

to think that not all children are loved like this,

the way it should be.

I would give my life for either of these two who

call me Momma.
