    Before you were

    Before you were

    Before you were I counted, 10 little fingers and stubby toes.

    Before you were I sniffed, your palms while you grasped my giant nose.

    Before I ever held your head inside my giant hand,

    You etched a place inside the heart of this enormous man.

    Before I ever changed your diaper when your bottom did get wet,

    I had this love inside for you before we ever met.

    Before I ever held you close and smiled at the mere sight,

    Before I ever heard you laugh or giggle with delight,

    Before I got to chase the monsters underneath the bed,

    Before I got to place a bow upon your little head,

    Before I got to stand nearby and watch you as you sleep,

    The thought of your angelic face I shall forever keep.

    Before I ever saw you smile or ever heard you cry.

    Before I got to say hello I was forced to say goodbye.

    Before you ever hit the ground and skinned your little knee.

    My Father brought you home with Him, He set MY ANGEL free!

    Before I had you here with me but now I am all alone.

    Before you got to bless the world, my Father called you home.

    Thank you jess! I appreciate your comments and look forward to returning the favor!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
