I love you with an aching heart for all the pain you may face.
I love you with tearful eyes for all the happiness you will create.
I love you with clenched fists for all the goodness you will fight for.
I love you with sore feet for all the wondrous places you will go.
I love you with all my being.
Take flight.
Use your wings.
My body will one day fail me.
And I pray your heart will not ache too much or your eyes cry too many tears.
I pray your feet will carry you on to keep fighting.
Because I will always be near.
I will be that moment right before you fall asleep.
And I will be the flash of recognition in a brand new place.
I will be the snow that kisses your face.
And I will be the sun's warmth on your toes.
I will be the taste of a memory that never yields to fade.
I love you, my child.
Even after all the tomorrows turn to yesterdays, I will love you.
