I saw your mother take your tiny hand whilst standing at the shore.
I watched you laugh at the waves splash upon your toes, whilst and ocean of tears fell from my eyes.
You’ll never know how much I love you and how I wish you could have always stayed mine.
Transported back, the size of your hand gripped around my thumb, the length of your legs and your perfect heart shaped jaw.
You needed to be safe, fed and warm taken from any possible harm and given chances I could never provide.
I saw how much you love your mummy.
If you ever know, I pray that you forgive me and hope you understand.
I will always be your mother, even if I can no longer hold your hand.
