The Essence Of Who I Am

I was given a bracelet a few months before you were born

With your intials delicately placed in morus code

Before I could hold you in my arms I wrapped it around my wrist so I could feel close to you

Because I couldn’t wait to hold you and love you with everything I had

But now you are here and growing and I can see time flying close to you

And I squeeze you harder hoping it won’t be able to get to you

I know it will though and I wish I could hold you forever but I know I can’t

But I know I’ll always have the bracelet wrapped around my arms

M.A.P
