As soon as we met, I knew you were mine. The warmth of your embrace and the sound of your voice felt like something I already knew and understood deep inside my heart.
Everything you do for me matters, and this is what I want you to know…
When you hold my hand, I feel safe
When you hug me tight, I feel secure
When you laugh, I feel joy
When you smile, I see God
When you sing, I hear angels
When you dance, I feel free
When you cry, I feel real
When you encourage me, I feel brave
When you forgive me, I feel worthy
When you trust me, I feel empowered
When you accept me, I feel whole
When you love me, I feel loved
Momma, I love being with you.
Every day when I wake up, I think of you. When I’m away at school or with a friend, I think of you. When you say goodnight and leave my room, I think of you.
I want you to know I love you and need you just as you are. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Because just as you are is everything to me.
Just as you are is who I want to be.
You are mine. And I am yours.
