Sweet Gentle Spirit Poem by Shannon Wade

The innocence of a child
Nothing can compare
Her eyes twinkle like the depths of the constellations
It kindles the sadness in my soul
I smile with pure elation
Grateful for the beauty present in the moments
It's the presence in the moments
It's the true essence of love
The privilege of motherhood
We share an unbreakable bond
A bond molded from the arms of birth
I hope to shine on in her reflection
I hope she cradles the lessons deep within the core of her heart
In the midst of adversity, may my angel proudly show her wings
I hope to guide her along the way
Ode to my heart
Ode to the joy I feel in each moment I am greeted by her
