Chapter 1 - A Look Down From Above

Most dearest and beloved daughter,
I can already begin to see
a bit of myself in you,
and I hope one day,
I still shall when
you bloom so beautifully.

In your big brown eyes,
I see naught but
compassion, love, and mercy.
Will that always continue?

I thank the good Lord
for the chance yet granted
to watch my precious
and gracious daughter
to become so much more than
another monarch butterfly.
Or another me.

Though Heaven is such
a wonderous place,
so much better than
where you now reside,
I cannot help but
to feel an inkling of sadness,
yet in a happy sort of way.

I'm so sorry that
I left you the other day,
but I know it was
for the very best,
and it was by my own fault.

But one day we shall
meet yet again,
and you will know me,
the mother that
you never even had
the chance to know.

Dearest and beloved,
even as I now look
at you from the Above,
I love you more
every second that goes by,
for in Heaven,
there is no time.

By the Lord's gracious
love and mercy for my soul,
I can love you
and watch you grow
like a mother should,
for a child as you.

I will watch you weep,
and I will weep for you.
And when you smile,
so will I.
My only punishment,
my child,
is for you not
to know who I am,
for hopefully many a year.
