A Gift Of Life Poem by Rita Umali

Everytime I see you
I thank God for his marvelous gift
A gift of Life

Everytime I hear your laughter
I hope I could preserve the joy of the moment
And freeze time so you'll be always happy

Everytime I feel your tears
I wish I could wipe them and erase the memory of hurt
I pray to bear your pain instead

Everytime I am away from you
I long so much to embrace you
And feel warmth of your love

Everytime I see you sleep so peacefully
I trust God to protect you at all times
And be at your side in the days to come

Everytime we celebrate your birthday
I wonder what's waiting for you
Hoping and praying silently
That all best will be yours

I love you so much my daughter
