Melina
Dear Sweet Daughter,
As a girl I had a common dream,
to be a Mom someday.
My baby would have eyes of blue
and hair the hue of hay.
But now my dreams have been transformed.
New visions fill my head.
Now the tresses that I long to stroke
are raven black instead.
And in my dreams those eyes are not
so big or blue or round.
Now in my dreams they're almond
shaped and colored cocoa brown.
And in my dreams my arms can stretch
across enormous seas.
They reach half-way around the world
and hold you close to me.
As you grow in your mother's womb,
carefully knit together, you're also growing
in my heart, where you will stay forever.
And in my dreams the moment that your
mother says good-bye, I'll be right there
to comfort you and hold you as you cry.
Our features may not look alike;
we're different as can be.
But still I know the Father
has created you for me.
And though I've not yet seen your face,
or held your tiny hands, and though
we're half a world apart in very different lands,
I'll be right there to get you just as soon as
God allows. But 'til He says the time
is right I give to you this vow.
I'll pray for your protection
every day on bended knee.
For God to hold you in His arms,
until you're here with me.
