I gave birth to a daughter today
And thought you may like to know,
Her gleaming eyes tried to focus on me, I knew I'd never let her go.
I gave birth to a daughter today so vulnerable and so small, the love that surged around my body I have never felt before.
I gave birth to a daughter today and in that instant I just knew, I'd never ever leave her side no matter what life threw.
I gave birth to a daughter today and a guaranteed promise was made, to always give her love and security with a devotion that wont fade.
I gave birth to a daughter today and every part of me knew, that all my own desires and needs would be moulded round hers too.
I gave birth to a daughter today what powerful emotions were triggered, I will surround her with love and security to levels that can't be measured.
As I cuddle my little girl and think of how her life will be, I sit in silence and I wonder if you felt this way for me.
I've moved on now Dad, my hurt has faded, I have children of my own. But every now and then in life when I am all alone, I sit and think and wonder how my life would be,if you would have made different choices and ensured you'd protected me.
Because sometimes Dad the scar's that are left to an unprotected child, cut deeper than any physical pain and take much longer to be healed.
As a grown up, as a mum, I struggle to understand, how a parent can repress these feelings and leave a child to stand, all alone with no protection as vulnerable as can be. I know what a cruel world offers this child because this child was me.

That was amazing. Really Well done.
Good rhythm. This poem tugs on my heartstrings. Watch out for "auto correct," since there are spelling gremlins within its clutches. I know because it has a mind of its own and has caught me several times.
I was speechless after reading this. So good!
This is the third piece of yours i have read (although it was the first posted by you) and I'm 'more aware' of you than had it been the first i read.
Look at what a loving mother you have become in stark contrast to what this piece portrays.
You are a wonderful example of the resilience of the human condition.
There are many secrets of life we may only guess at and perhaps play games with. In the realms of reincarnation such challenges as you have been presented and overcome are the path to advancement in the company of the super beings or angels.
