Open Arms
The day you were born you touched my soul,
you were the missing link that made my life whole.
Those beautiful blue eyes stared up at me in awe,
Gazing at the woman who just became your mom.
As days turned to months, and months to years,
I watched you grow as a child through laughter and tears.
Now that your grown and out on your own,
I sit and often wonder, where did the years go?
Your childhood memories in my heart remain kept,
as you venture out to take your own steps.
But always know if you ever get lost along your way,
when your unsure where to go or just have a bad day,
know that I'm present in spirit and soul,
With open arms and a hand for you always to hold.
