For My Harper Skye!!!

Dear Sweet Daughter,As a girl
I had a common dream, to be a mom someday.My baby would have eyes of blue
and hair the hue of hay.But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions
fill my head.Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black
instead.And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or
round.Now in my dreams they're almond shaped and colored cocoa brown.And
in my dreams my arms can stretch across enormous seas.They reach half-way
around the world and hold you close to me.As you grow in your mother's
womb, carefully knit together,you're also growing in my heart, where you
will stay forever.And in my dreams the moment that your mother says
good-bye,I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you
cry.Our features may not look alike; we're different as can be.But
still I know the Father has created you for me.And though I've not yet seen
your face, or held your tiny hands,and though we're half a world apart in
very different lands.I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God
allows.But til He says the time is right I give to you this vow.I'll
pray for your protection every night on bended knee.For God will hold you in
His arms, until you're here with me.By: Gayle Leubecker
