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.
