Love that Hurts by IzzyBeth

Love that Hurts

I do not know
how you felt
inside warm liquid
before you took
your first breath
But I know
you were meant
for my arms
my heart

I did not form
your body
I am not responsible
for your DNA
But I will be
in charge of
what you grow into


Your Mom
must have
been terrified
knowing
she had to let go
I am
terrified
knowing someday
you will too.

Being a parent, I think, is the scariest journey there is...because of what you could lose at any moment. Cherish...
