Chloe's Song

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, expectant mothers, and sisters who are acting like mothers to their siblings. Chloe is what my officemate, Michelle, calls her still-to-be-born child. Michelle is one true friend that anyone would be lucky to have. There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that she's going to make a great mother to Chloe. And Chloe knows this and, for sure, yearns for the day she'll be born and be held with the utmost care and most sincere love by her mother Michelle and her father Beau.

Chloe's Song

I am sure I am a lucky child
I know this before I am born
You are the most caring mother
I feel this before I see

"I love you, mom"
This I shall say
A thousand times
Before learning to speak

I enjoy your stories
I enjoy your songs
I long for your words
Before knowing what they mean

I am dancing with you
Before knowing how to walk
I am laughing with you
Before knowing how to smile

You put me to rest
And you wake me up
Before knowing what's morning
And how it differs from night

You fed me, and
Your love clothed me
Before knowing what's hunger
Before knowing to shiver

I long to be born, mom
Not to see the world
But to see you, be held by you
The first person who loved me

Thank you for having me
Thank you for being you
Happy Mother's Day
Soon, each other we'll see
