Those Moments I Treasure Poem by Trina Graves

With each new day as I awoke
Like a spark I'd remember you were here
A smile would warm my face and heart
Those moments I treasure, so clear

I counted the weeks as they passed by
Your presence I felt growing strong
My joy and excitement thinking of you
Those moments I treasure my life long

You wriggled and kicked more powerfully each month
My body stretching as it nurtured your growth
Blossoming too was my complete devotion to you
Those moments I treasure, unconditional love my oath

Then the moment came for us to meet face-to-face
Time stood still with a tangible sense of awe
The miracle of pregnancy and birth is a blessing in life
Those moments I treasure forever more

Now the years have passed and you are grown
But my memory of pure bliss can still bring a tear
When you were first placed in my arms
That moment I treasure most dear

You are my joy, my precious, my beloved, my life
I've loved you unconditionally right from the start
Though life separates us, our love continues and unites
Our moments I treasure, eternally you are part of my heart
