My Daughter, My Healer

You have been given to me, an angel, my healer - as years go by though...

I don't know if you are given to me to take care of or to heal me physically and emotionally with my battles.

You are the strength that pulls me on the verge of breaking.

I have learned to appreciate life more because of the strength you had shown when you were a baby 

You know when I am in pain, when I'm not okay, your touch heals me.

I feel worried every time you get sick that it makes me closer to God to spare your life for me, for us.

You were given an embryonic expectancy by a doctor while inside my womb.

I was asked if you are worth sparing thousands in an upscale hospital.

You were confined for months and barely a month old when the surgeon finally brought their scalpel on you. 

I moved mountains just so you could see the beauty of the world...and people see you as someone really special.

You have shown sensitivity and wittiness in things that surround you...

I praise God for He has answered my prayer in spite of what has been given us...

You are given the name of Faith Princess, as we have been living through faith with your special conditions.

I have your name Emily as my beloved daughter.

You are my beautiful daughter, who binds your siblings in love.

I am your Mother who loves you dearly...

You are my baby growing up to womanhood.

Praise God for 17 years and more...

Your Kiss

📷image credits to the owner

It's been a long time

How would it be..
to look in your eyes again...

The answer is in your kiss.

It's been a long time, 

nobody dared.. 

for me to feel

that amazing moment..

As your hands reached for my face,

our lips locked..

and from there..it all comes back...

the tenderness..the sweetness 

of the moment..

Your kiss..

brings back memories,

of what it feels to be wanted.

Your kiss..

takes me

to what I've been missing.

 Your kiss..

soft and tender,

yet can't tell what's in it...

but at least..

that kiss..

wakes up the undead..

I hadn't recalled how it feels,

until you..

again..

Far Away

I am looking at you, but you didn't notice.

I am talking to you, but you're not listening.

I am touching your face, but you're fast asleep

I am holding your hands, but you take them away

I am trying to make you laugh, but you just frown at me

I am kissing you, but your thoughts are far away from here.

The stare you had set on me before

 .. is no longer there.

The eagerness you shared with me when we talk back then

 .. is now lost in the air.

The attention you had given me even when you're about to fall asleep

 .. is nowhere to find.

The touch you had more than lovingly returned

 ..is nothing but an ice-cold treatment.

The smile you had shown me

 ..is now complete sarcasm.

The love you have so confidently expressed whilst will not change

 ..is now a dire insult to my womanhood and sanity.

The times you have never filled in the tank,

you never let me do too.

The times we fight, we have never talked it out.

You're far away now

 ..and I'm becoming for what it causes.

Time flies...

 I too would be so far away from your sight.
