My Mommy's Embrace

Mommy, when you first held me and looked into my face,

From that very moment I learned your sweet embrace.

I felt your gentle touch and smelled your fragrant skin.

You whispered that my life journey would now begin.

Stay near me through the years and watch me grow.

Teach me about life and love and all the things you know.

Before you realize it, time will pass and I'll be grown,

Teaching what you taught me to children of my own.

Embrace me now in your arms and

In your thoughts when we're apart,

For I know the special love shared within our hearts.

Love, Hadley Kate
