A Birthday Poem by Patricia Blake I wished on every star I prayed for you & me, Your tiny little heartbeat Whispered through the trees. When mist would touch my face, It was your sweet baby kiss. When rain drops fell from the sky, I cried too for what I missed. When the wind would blow & surround me, You know what I would do? I’d pretend it was your tiny arms, And that you still loved me too. But for every tear that fell, And every kiss I missed... There was one day... One precious moment, That I never would forget. The day you were born There was a sound that whispered to my soul, That God had made a miracle And that He would watch you grow.
