All that you are...

I apologize in advance to those of you who come here for the cozy because the below blog is from an unusually, un-cozy time I had for about a 2-month period this year, and sometimes still struggle with to this day. However, at the same time you might find it cozy to know that my nephew, whom I only met once, is a true miracle of life. He has been home with his family for close to 5-weeks (Yes, we count the days/hours/minutes) with no relapses and he's a phenomena to the experts and a miracle to all of us.
This blog has been in the "saved" portion of my file long enough and now I am ready as I'll ever be to share it with those of you who would like to be reminded of life's little miracles!

Love to all, but especially my nephew.

All That You Are (Original)
(Click on the song "Lullaby" to get a feel on how the mood was set for this entry)

I can't believe you've come this far,
It's a miracle - you're a miracle
And your life is made more precious because of who you are.
With too many emotions and too much to say,
It would be best if I just quit writing and left it this way,
But, as you'll grow to learn, your Aunt is talker and so I'll go on.
And now the rhyming stops as there's no method to the madness.
As hard as it is for me to look at your beautiful picture I am thankful to see it, but it makes me wonder what you might be feeling.
You look so peaceful, but are you restless?
You look so innocent, but are you all-knowing? Do you know what your mission is already?
Tears are rushing down my face, I can't keep it together anymore.
God, if nothing else than to satisfy my selfishness, please let him be with us.
