I rock you gently while I gaze...
Upon the exquisite little features of your face.
As I am captivated by you, the universe around us... Becomes silent and fades away.
I graze your soft silky cheeks against my face and gently take your tiny little hands in my fingers, and my heart speaks to you...
In a language that only you will discern.
The week I have devoted to your debut will pass... Like the mist on a foggy morning.
But I have locked every memory safely away...
In the archives of my heart.
And when I am away from you,
I will call them all to mind.
But as long as I am with you I will not allow my thoughts to drift down that long empty
watery corridor, before I am able to return,
And at long last, hold you in my arms, once again.
For you are Mammaw’s most precious gift.
