I Will Never Forget

I will never forget the day I first met you.
I will never forget the sound of your first cry like you're announcing it's "you".
I will never forget that after so much pain, comes the absolute joy of holding you.
I will never forget how you snuggled against me like we're meant to be when I first hugged you.
I will never forget the day I first saw you smile and realized just how much I love you.
I will never forget the cute way you first said "Mama" that I just had to kiss you.
I will never forget your very first step that gave me a clue that I will forever be chasing you.
I will never forget how I cried on your first day at school because I just couldn't leave you.

I will never forget how the past seven years have changed quite a lot of things about you.
I will never forget the baby, the toddler, the kid, the future teen and adult...for they are all a part of you.
I will never forget the happy, the funny, the silly, even the sad…for those moments are all with you.

I will never forget how you turned my life around since that wonderful day I first met you.
But years will pass and old age might take away every beautiful memory I have of you.
So, I wrote this poem to remind myself one day that I promised never to forget you.💝

An Ode To Him

Got to enjoy this moment, while in his heart, I'm still the queen.
Somewhere out there, a princess is waiting for him.
Time will come when my heart will certainly break.
For surely, this new girl will try to take my place.
I guess that is fine, for forever, I cannot stay.
I can only hope she'll love him in the same way.
But for now, let me freeze this moment and adore that smile.
Because I still can't believe that he is all mine. 💖

Remembering Papa

He was gone so young, only 43. 

Sometimes, I still long for a fun ride in his red car, like a child. 

I also wonder how happy and proud he would have been if he had met his grandsons and granddaughters. 

Often, I would think of him when I look in the mirror...because I do look a lot like him.

And then, there are occasions like this that remind me of him, like he was just beside me yesterday.

He's gone...but in my heart, he lives. ❤
