Reflections
By: Deborah Boyd
I sit here and think
Of that day
With special fond memories
No one can take away
I awoke that day
To find my life changed
No longer alone
No longer afraid
You were just a baby
So innocent and pure
I knew in my heart
That this was the cure
As days turned to months
And months turned to years
Before long I knew it
I had nothing to fear
I brought you up strong
With morals and such
Respect for others
With Intelligence as much
And now the time comes
To let yourself go
To venture the world
For all its glories to show
But as you do
Just remember one thing
You’re here in my heart
Amongst other things
I’m there if you need me
I’m there if you don’t
You always have a home to come to
No matter how much
So go my little one
Venture the world as you dare
For I know in my heart
There is nothing to fear.
