The Gift

You came into my world all quiet peace and wonder.
Until that time, I only thought I had felt love.

A tiny precious infant whose sweetness drew me under
then sent my spirit soaring high above.

First I gave you your life, then you gave me mine.
An unexpected gift of motherhood.

We two are gently wrapped in the sacred tie that binds,
for you opened up my heart when no one could.
