My Child

Precious Child,
My deepest dream
is that you will know
that my love for you
is deep
and steady
and strong.

Though there are many things
your can say or do that
would cause my heart to ache with sadness,
my blood to boil with anger,
or my soul to grieve deeply,

There is nothing, my dear one,
Nothing
you can say
or do
to stop me from
loving you.

You are my precious,
my beloved
my dear child.
My love surrounds you
always.
