Tiny Hands

From the moment I saw you,  

eyes shut and pink lips pursed.

From the moment I heard you, 

scream and cry.

From the moment I held you,

your warmth and innocence in my arms.

I knew that no matter what happened, 

I would be your protector, standing by you with my fists ready.

I knew that no matter what happened, 

I would be your best friend, your shoulder to cry on.

I knew that no matter what happened,

I would be there for you, to help you get back up.

Because I love you,

unconditionally.

Because I love you,

to the moon and back.

Because I loved you,

from the moment I touched your tiny hands.
