For my blog I write about the quote photos I have added in the past. At the end of 2016 I began to write poems for each quote. The above photo was added to my Facebook Page in November 2010. The poem was written today.
When They Placed You
In My Arms
You Slipped Into My Heart
Poem: Trina Graves
When they placed you in my arms
For the first time after your birth
Is my most precious memory
Of my life here on this Earth
After endless months of waiting
Anxious that all would be well
Relief mixed with anticipation
As I floated under your spell
My love for you had grown stronger
Each day through pregnancy
In that moment it exploded
Awakening the Core of me
I gazed tenderly into your eyes
Then mine watered with a tear
The pure bliss of the moment
As I embraced you, my dear
The weight of your little body
As I held you close and tight
Feeling your physical presence
Sensing your true Spirit Light
The warmth of your precious form
Now tangible at long last
Melted time’s candle to me
You became my future and my past
The sheer miracle of life
I possessed in my arms
Blessed always to be
Captivated by your charms
When they placed you in my arms
You slipped into my heart
Through Eternity we are bound
Entwined Souls to never part
Trina Graves (Feb. 2017)
As the above picture quote is personal, I have also done one with just baby pics.
