Once In a Lifetime...
There are some days
when I am so caught up
in the grown up rush
that I forget to look you in the eyes,
touch your face,
hug you close…
remind you that I love you, cherish you
have confidence in you…
Sometimes,
I get so caught up in grown-up thoughts
that I forget
that you’re still young
and don’t understand
when I worry too much
over little things…
Sometimes, I forget
that your youth is limited
and that Now is the perfect time
to share it with you, make memories,
take emotional photographs
of your once in a lifetime moments.
But just because
my grown-up drama
steals me from you from time to time…
know that I can never forget my heart
and you are in my thoughts…
everything I did…
wasn’t enough until I had you
everything good in me…
is better because you graced my life…
everything I achieve
it’s all because I know
that you have as much faith in me
as I have in you.
You are my rationality
when irrationality fractures my mind
the spark that never wanes
and I am overwhelmed
by the realization that I
have been given
a once in a lifetime kind of love
four times over...
a once in a lifetime chance
to be your only mom.
