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.
For Jess- my granddaughters' mom
