The Day That You Were Born ........

The Day that you were born,
Was such a special day,
For a split second,
The wind stopped blowing,
The birds refused to fly.
Into my arms came my special butterfly.
Stealing my heart in one foul swoop.
I heard the heart beat that had beaten in time to mine.
Free from my womb you let out a cry.
I held you tight vowing to love you until the end of time.

My wish for you,
My love,
Is to follow your head, listen to your heart.
Be all that you can be.
Know that there is always a place for you to be with me.
Even on the day you spread your wings and fly.

I love you now and forever,
Ours is a love burnt into the annals of time.
A sacred bond of mother and child,
You are my heart, my soul,
My Ryan, my Nicole.

No matter how free you will be,
You will always carry a piece of me.
Find your own way
Fill your world with beauty.
Don’t hide in your shell,
Set your butterfly free.
