Dear child of mine,
As I hold you today feeling complete
In this life
I hope my hopes and prayers for you will be there in the future
I hope my touch will be strong enough to be part of your memories
I hope today’s hugs will be a comforting memory when your days get lonely
I hope my voice somehow blocks the harsh words of a brutal world
My precious child,
If I am never in your future
I know you will know to lean on the truth of scripture
I know you will know where to take your weary heart
I know you will know who to pour your heart to
Dearest child of mine,
If I am never in your future
I hope you will know the abundant love and Grace
Of the one who beautifully knitted you in a womb
That joyfully carried you in anticipation for many months.
Child of mine,
If I am never in your future
Remember that you are somebody’s child.

Wonderful and very touching poem, my friend!
Thank you Sir. I enjoy pouring my heart out to my children as much as possible since i don’t know what tomorrow has in store.
It’s painful to imagine that your children, like you, might have to live without their mom. I hope they get to enjoy you for many, many years.
Thank you Miss Elizabeth. I hope and pray that I will be by their side in many seasons to come. My heart longs for that very much but yet I try to pour out my heart just in case.😁
More than beautiful
Thank you.
Lovely poem. Can’t imagine having to live without my mom, or my kids without me. Hugs to you!
Hugs Miss Janet 💝

beautiful love pouring out for our children..I wrote a poem titled They Explode my Heart you might like
Children are a blessing. At times it’s hard to put to words what our hearts hold for them as their parents. I will check out your poem. 🌹
Your words portray a wonderful image of the strength of the mother/child bond – thank you!
Thank you very much Miss Dorissa. I am thankful to God for the opportunity of Motherhood. It’s been a blessing in my life for sure.❤
So touching and bittersweet loving words.
Thank you Steph.🙏
You’re welcome ❤
Susan, this is incredibly beautiful. Thank you! Blessings.
Thank you very much. Blessings to you too my friend.🌹
I’m a new mom and reading this poem brought tears to my eyes! You are a very talented and blessed writer! Thank you for touching my heart today!
Congratulations on motherhood; it’s beautiful. As mothers, we desire to have our munchkins know our hearts. We love them deeply and we long to speak that out loud in any way we can. I hope and pray that for every chance you get, let your little one know how precious they are. My babies are 8 and 6. I have been writing them letters from when I was pregnant. If I am never alive to say my heart to them, at least they will read my words and that’s important. 🌹
