Moments in Time: A Mother's Dream

A whisper in the silence, a promise in the air,

Holding you so tightly, my love, beyond compare.

As I hold you snug and warm against my chest,

Your little hands, your little feet, a moment softly blessed.

I slowly rock in rhythm, closing my eyes and dream,

Of what you'll be tomorrow, the world is wide as it seems.

At two years old, you'll be laughing, running pure and free,

Tiny hands reaching for leaves, oh how sweet that vision be.

Sweet child of mine, time will march on,

From baby giggles to teenage dawn.

Each moment's a memory, each hug's a song,

In my heart, forever where you belong.

At five years old, you'll cling to me tight,

"Mommy, don’t let go, just hold me through the night."

I whisper soft and steady, "Baby girl don’t fear,

I’ll be right here waiting, you’re my sunshine, my dear."

At ten years old, your spirit’s fierce and bright,

With every question asked, you're ready for the light.

Exploring every corner, so strong and so aware,

You’ll take on the adventure, there’s magic everywhere.

Sweet child of mine, time will march on,

From baby giggles to teenage dawn.

Each moment's a memory, each hug's a song,

In my heart, forever where you belong.

At eighteen years old, crossing that stage,

Proudly you’ll stand, ready to turn the page.

You’ll chase your dreams, maybe save a soul or two,

And as you walk away, my heart will burst for you.

So here in these moments, with you, love, I sigh,

From cradle to dreams, my darling, reach for the sky.

You’ll always be my baby, my heart, and my pride,

In this beautiful journey, together we glide.
