I had posted this poem before, but I will share it again:
I was sitting on the couch listening to Moby (the CD Songs) crying my eyes out. I was having a very lonely yet very beautiful soulful moment. My Emmie walked into the room. We had a heart-to-heart, and this is what we said, almost word for word:
(My little girl said to me)
Mommy, why are you crying?
I said --
Because I love somebody
We just haven’t found each other yet.
Or maybe we never will.
Then she said
Yes, but mommy, why are you crying?
I said --
My soul is not complete, my dear
And I think I will die alone.
Yes, but Mommy, WHY are you crying?
Well...
Because I thought I found the One
But I was so very wrong
The One would be more beautiful than any other
And the One would never cause me pain
I would have no fear
They would be my light
They would be my shelter
And they would make my cold heart blaze with the warmth of 10 Suns.
YES, but Mommy WHY are you CRYING?
Because my dear...
I took a long pause and then I said --
Emmie, I love you
More than any other
You have been there for me
When nobody else even cared
Your little heart touched mine
And when one day
I close my eyes
And I do not wake
Please remember, my little precious one
I am with you always
And nothing
Nothing
Can break your mother’s love.
Then she looked at me and smiled
With a sparkle in her eye
And said the sweetest thing my ears could ever hear
I love you too, Mommy
