Missing my Princess

I loved you as soon as I had learned

that you were growing within me.

In that moment I became a mother.

I day dreamed about you.

In my mind's eye

I imagined you

and looked forward

to feeling you grow within me.

In my mind's eye

I imagined holding you

and looked forward

to the first time

I would lay eyes on you.

But it all remained

in my mind's eye.

I did not feel you grow within me.

I did not hold you.

I have never laid eyes on you.

But in the moment

I knew you existed

You were in my heart.

My heart aches

that you are not with me.

There are so many memories

that will never be created.

And the longing in my heart

to hold you remains.

I know that one day

I will hold you.

I know that one day

I will lay eyes on your

beautiful face.

You are being cared for by angels.

And I will be with you

for Eternity sweet child.

The pain of separation

although at times unbearable

is being healed by the One

who made a way for us

to be together for Eternity.

The One you are with right now.

I love you my child.

I miss you my Princess.

I will always be your Mother.

You will always be in my heart.
