I carried you nine months in my womb and nine more in my arms.
The thoughts of you replacing emptiness with long lost smiles and peace of mind.
Surrendering my past and starting again - a new world in your eyes.
I held you and I wondered why I ever thought I knew what happiness was - what joy meant -
I held you as I wondered how beautiful your smile would become as you aged.
I held you as I admitted my only love, last night - and I held you so tight.
