To my child

I wish you were here
I miss you so much
Even sunny skies seem grey
I long to hold you near
You are always in my heart
You are forever in my thoughts
My dreams will not be fullfilled
Until you are at my side
For always
I yearn to hear you laugh
And watch that laughter
Dance in your eyes
And light up your face
I know your face so well
It is etched upon my mind
And fills my dreams when I sleep
I cannot wait for the day
When you come home to stay
Even though I know I must
Just know that I love you with all my heart
More than life itself.
