Child so sweet,

Child so kind,

Heaven has bestowed to me a gift.

Child so happy,

Child so bright,

From what rewarding action,

was I chosen by God to be your Mom?

Through an act of Love,

Your soul was placed into my care.

Your eyes blue like mine ,

sweet silken hair.

You live with a gentleness,

an aura that electrifies the air.

Pray I meet your needs,

and fill your life with beauty,

for you have come to fill my days,

spinning around me a loving euphoric haze..

The essence of an Angel,

The presence of a Queen.

You have plucked the best qualities,

from the very Soul's of your Dad and I.

Child of my Heart,

Child of my Soul,

From you I have learned,

the essence of pride.

Child from Heaven,

Child from Love,

I thank God's eternal kindness,

for in giving birth to you,

I have been given a gift of Love beyond all measure.

Dedicated to my Daughter Stacy, the person I would like to be most like. I have tried to write a Poem for Stacy for around a year now but it has been so hard. My opinion of my Daughter and the Woman she has become is so high that I find putting it into words is very overblown sounding. I love and think the world of both my Children...Regardless of their hard beginnings they have grown up to be very compassionate thinking People.  While neither may become some People's terms for completely successful or perfect..they are a success at being honest with themselves and both understand high concept thinking when it's presented to them. That does not mean they will never make bad choices...just when they do they know they made the choice themselves and don't blame everyone else. The trait I most admire in Stacy is her ability to see past today.   While having Mother /Daughter talks with Stacy she is able to see when I say, "if you do this or you do that, this or that will happen". Most adults think I am talking of the near future so they get lost in the thought ...I am not, I may be speaking in terms of years..Karma.. Our choice to admit or not admit to ourselves or others our choice was bad is the deciding factor in how long a time it will take to come to fruitation. Some people, (my Son and myself at times) need to go all the way to the bottom before they will see the choice was bad.  Compounding one bad choice on top another all in name of trying to make the original choice appear perfect ... or to simply try to make it work when it never will. When making choices Stacy for the most part is able to look years ahead even at her young age and see reality and not just her wish of how it she wants it to  be. While we never know what the future will bring for sure I pray that my Children will always remember how easy it is to damage another person you love by being too self engrossed and self-satisfying.

To understand that is a quality more precious than gold.

Thank You God for putting their Souls in my care..

I love them beyond words. Diana
