Remember Me

The sight of your heart beating away,
The tears you brought me on that day,
Dreams of the future, oh so bright,
Dreaming of when I could hold you tight,

Your first kicks to say hello,
Your first hiccups, stretches, 
Running out of room to grow,

First moment I saw you,
First moment I held you,
Kissed your forehead,
You met your Dada,

Whirlwind, the days were long,
Hoping not to do you wrong,
Breastfeeding a mission from the start,
A special time that is dear to my heart,

You grew, cooed, cried, and you laughed,
So many moments, memories that last,
First rolling, scooting, crawling, walking,
Now climbing, running, problem solving,

Many mornings barely slept,
Up all night, your teething, growing,
When you slept peacefully beside me,

All the times I breathed you in,
Feeling the softness of your skin,
Your heartbeat beating close to mine,
Calming us both, a treasure of time,

You may not know what all I do,
Everything my child, it is for you,
The days are long and the years short,
 
Inside my heart you'll always be,
Unconditional, I love you,
Always your momma,
Dear child, remember me.
