A Special Gift
A woman hides her sorrow one night, the only way she knew how,
A night that should have been remembered, her memory would not allow.
Those nights were her nightmares, with no hopes for the morning light.
A genie in the bottle was her only escape from the reality of her life.
Everyone knew her secrets and her cry for help was clear,
But an angel was there to guide her when those burdens became too much to bear.
A special gift was sent to her, just when she had least expected it,
The only words to describe it were, precious, rare and exquisite.
Destiny in the palm of her hands, she didn’t know what she should do,
Something she wasn’t prepared for, it changed the life she once viewed.
Her heart was what guided her, while her mind went astray,
This precious gift sent to her, forever in her heart it would stay.
The months were filled with emotions, some she never knew to exist,
Her body was slowly changing, those cravings she couldn’t resist.
As the butterflies flutter in her stomach and reality started to kick in,
A whole new woman was coming alive; a new soul was slowly emerging.
Nine months of joy, fear and confusion quickly began to subside,
As she lay screaming in agony, she prayed for that special sight.
Her eyes could not believe, as the moment came to an end,
A beautiful baby boy had slowly emerged…that gift an angel had sent.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held him for the very first time,
"Welcome to a whole New World," she said, "we’re going to be just fine."
Her body seemed to feel no pain and her heart no longer seek,
His big brown eyes just looked at her as she gently kissed his cheek,
Her life was now focused on this child she bought into the world.
She promised to love and protect him and provide the best she knew how.
What it boiled down to was the fact that remained at hand,
This new life needed her in every way, to be that fine young man.
The road ahead for them was rough and uncertain,
But that special angel was there, he helped her carry those burdens.
Her child taught her inner strength as he rose above his challenge,
Like her, he wasn’t afraid to take that step, he did more than he could manage.
She taught him right from wrong and to respect the feeling of others,
He taught her the true meaning behind that special word...
the meaning of a Mother.
As the days turn into years she watched him as he grew,
But, slowly, the fear she held within her was starting to come true.
Her love was not strong enough to keep him by her side,
Instead her world just crumbled and she could no longer provide.
Decisions she had made was the reason for her downfall,
Another one to make, as she sent him to the one that he loved most of all.
With a broken heart in each hand, she held and kissed him goodbye,
She silently cursed her fate, those dreams she was denied.
Her days were filled with silence,
The nights replaced with torment.
But she took one day at a time, as she searched for her inner strength.
The magic of love had let her down in more ways than one,
But that faith and strength within herself would not let her succumb.
For Jason...We will be happy together one day
and we will have our dreams come true...
