The Day You Came

Oh, how each day flies by.

No matter how hard I try,

I can’t change how fast

moments become memories,

yet I will never forget how

you saved me from staying

the same. The day you came

into my life was the day

I stopped the endless search

for the love I thought I lost

because I found it nestled,

right in front of me: in

your mother’s loving arms.

When you opened your eyes

for the first time, on the day

you were born, it all changed;

I saw a new world I didn’t know

existed. If I blinked, I would

have missed it. In an instance,

I felt a spark reignite a fire

that was burning out inside

of a withering heart. You

will never understand how

fast you filled the hole missing

from my soul. Without you

knowing it, you rescued me

from myself. When you get

old enough, I hope you realize

how much light you brought

into your mom’s and dad’s life.

We will travel on this rocky

road together; we will always

love you: now and forever.
