Please Know (May 5,2012)

Mama, I remember, the beating of your heart,
I feel your love around me, even though we are apart,
I remember when you sang to me in a voice so sweet,
I would fall asleep and dream of the day that we would meet,
I remember when you laughed when I would kick around,
And when my Daddy talked, I really loved the sound,
I remember when he'd give me kisses and whisper of his love,
And even now i hear it in the heavens far above,
I remember feeling safe and knowing you were mine,
Dreaming of your smile and how your love would shine,
I grew and grew inside of you, filling every space,
Happy and content to stay in this cozy place,
But then one night a voice did say,"Come with me, my little one."
I told him how you needed me, that our life had just begun,
His voice was soft and tender as he said it wasn't time,
I moved a little to let you know that you would always be mine,
He told me that you knew my love and in time we'd be together,
That this life is short and when we'd meet you could hold on to me forever,
As my spirit lifted, I saw my Daddy sleeping,
I kissed him on the cheek and asked the voice for his safe keeping,
I cuddled close, for just a second, onto his warm chest,
The beating of his heart was perfect, the safest place for rest,
And then I turned and I saw you, my sweet mama's face,
I knew I couldn't leave you here in this lonely place,
I told the voice you needed me, again he softly spoke,
"You're always with her dearest one, and in her heart she'll know."
I kissed you on the cheeks and stroked your soft dark hair,
Placed my hand above your heart, whispering,"I am there."
And then the voice took me, shooting fast beyond the stars,
Promising that you and Daddy would be safe in each others arms,
I wish I didn't have to go, but know that I am safe,
Waiting for the day that we can be in the same place,
Till then don't cry because I'm gone, be happy I was there,
That you and Daddy made me, someone that you can share.
