Anticipation from the time I knew you. Adoration from the time I held you. I pledge fierce love, forever love, I will fight for you love. Before you, I thought I was fulfilled. A soaring eagle, I believed in myself, So confident, so sure of my abilities. Now with you in my arms, I realize I had an empty place in my heart, That God created just for you. A place that is now Overflowing with emotion. Insecurity, because I want to make your life perfect. Charity, because No one has ever needed me like you do. Feelings so intense, I weep. Tears of joy. Tears of exhaustion. A release of the emotions that Overwhelm me. But then I notice your eyes Fixed on me with A quiet grace-filled spirit. Eyes that engage my heart Pull me even closer. You love me too! Amazing! A gaze that reassures Despite my imperfections, Love makes me enough. Your blissful look and outstretched arms That demand to be held And your little smile that Ignites wonder in my soul. You are the engine driving Our sacred bond, And my mundane tasks A supporting role. My passionate love met With your gentle grace, Yield a binding love. Oh my child, I am yours.
