The First Time....

Motherhood and all that comes with it!!! I get out of breathe just saying that sentence. It can be so consuming at times. Yet after all the sleepless nights, all the doody diaper changing, all the dry cleaning bills (LOL) from spit up blouses & outfits, the non-ending worrying, the headaches, the body aches, etc... At the end of it all it takes just once glance into their eyes, their hearts, their souls, to know that it's always OK and this is how thing were destined to be!!! Its a life long learning experience that makes it all well worth it. Anything that has great significance and meaning to our lives has and/or will cost us greatly. The fruits however help us to see things from a different perspective.

I remember being overwhelmed with so much JOY and LOVE, that tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I remember having no control of my emotions. Felt like my heart was pulled out of my body and handed to me to hold in my arms. I remember the smell of her soft baby hair, the touch of her tender silky skin as her little fingers wrapped around my hands so tightly.... I remember hearing her cry for the first time and it was like a song that only my heart knew the lyrics too!!! Such a rewarding, uplifting lifetime treasure.

My eldest Britney this song is but a mere description of what my heart felt as I saw you for the first time....
Funny how things have its way of going 'round and 'round. I can recall my mother AKA "Abuelita Jones" listening to this song. She would sing it to me from time to time and I had no idea until I encountered the same moment myself.

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave 

to the dark and the empty skies

MY LOVE...

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command

My LOVE

The first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last til the end of time

My LOVE

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face, Your face, Your face!!!

I kissed your mouth
