Birdy

My dear,
Your face was less foggy than the days before today.
I wish I could speak all the words I will say.
My mommy heart can see your almond-brown eyes,
and I bet you hair's raven black.

I've tried writing you letters,
but my words all dissolve,
and I feel so very young.

Birdy,
Have other mommies broken your little wings instead of giving you kisses at night?

I'll give you kisses,
Birdy, hold tight!

Lord, protect my little girl's life!
Bless her and keep her safe, tonight.

I'm coming, Princess, as soon as I can.
You'll be safe in my arms in a jiffy, alright?
