Every morning starts the same
I hold my
breath until I see yours
The world
stops till the moment I know
That the
darkness has not stolen you
Then in a
heartbeat I know all’s well
And the
morning sunshine streaks across the room
Bringing
life to a new day
For just a
second I look at you and everything’s forgotten
As you
stretch and yawn, opening your eyes from your slumber
You look
like any other five year old
This moment
is like heaven has allowed a glimpse of what should have been
And, a
flurry of dreams go as quickly as they first appear
For inside
your body, a battle is being fought
A familiar
foe,
one who is
so strong that defeat is inevitable
It takes
every ounce of your strength to keep it at bay
And there
are times it would be so easy to give in
But your
enemy does not belong here!
There was no
invitation!
And the
strength you gain from the love of those around you
Is all you
need to hold it back!
So you
fight!
And each new
day is a blessing
Another win
in the battle that is your life
We celebrate
and ensure your days are filled
With
happiness and memories we can hold in our hearts for an eternity
You show us
that the things that are important are of no monetary value
But of love,
devotion, hope, hard work and rewards of the heart
As the day
nears its end we reflect on new memories made
We smile and
hold you close
Loving this
moment, but knowing all the time your enemy is ever present
As the the
lights are dimmed, and stories read
I hold your
hand as you drift off with your dreams
But every
night starts the same
With a
prayer that we get to fight another day
