The little girl
Whispers excitedly
At first
And then repeats again
With more force
"Hi Mommy!"
I turn
And see her
Beloved face
And she runs
Into my arms
And she snuggles
In deep
And she
Looks at me
With those big
Beautiful eyes
And I know
Peace
I know
Contentment
Because she has
Shown me
Something
I never thought
I'd see again....
My own sweet child
Showing me
That I'm loved
That I'm wanted
And I'm not giving up
Not after tonight
"That's my Mommy!"
"I miss you Mommy!"
"When can you come see me again?"
"Can you come tomorrow?"
"Daddy, can Mommy sit with us?"
And the look in your eyes
When you realized
We couldn't stay
Please baby,
I need you to know that
I would have done
Anything you asked
Were it in my power
To do so
But it's not up
To just me
So tomorrow I go again
To try to be a part
Of your world
Or perhaps
Make one of
Our own
Where the hurt I saw
In your eyes tonight
Can't find us
