My gorgeous mergirl
The most talented dancer on the block
You began your journey here 7 years ago
You chose me as your mother
You still choose me each night as we snuggle down and you pick up my arm
and roughly sling it around your sweet torso and pull me closer
Not so long ago, in our other house,
You came downstairs in the middle of the night all teary eyed
I asked you whatever could be wrong
and your reply shook my soul
“Mama, I just, I just need to feel your skin”
I could not deny the need of a child to cuddle, though I had many tasks to do
I am smitten with you each day
And your travels through this life
Have created a child so full of compassion
and love
and spontaneous kindness
You teach me to be a better person each day
Aurora Ivy
Thank you for being 7
and thank you for allowing me to be your mother
