At First Sight

I've been in love before, but nothing as quite like this.
The picture that they gave me, I kept it close those remaining months.
Waiting for the day that we'd finally meet each other, for the first time, face-to-face.
He was a few days late but well worth the wait.
I was tired by time it was over.
Tears streaming down my face.
There was pain and heartache.
But finally he came. . .

And he was so beautiful.
It was love at first sight.
I've been in love before but not quite like this.
This love changed me, stirred something inside of me that I've never felt.
My broken heart mended and swelled with a brand new kind of love.
As I held him in my arms for the first time.

My son, my baby.
I fell in love with him the day he was born into this world.
And I realized that every mistake and heartbreak led me up to right now.
This moment, this place.
And this small creature laying against my chest.
Faded pink skin and blonde tuffs of hair.
And when he looks at me, his eyes are so sweet.
So big and wondering as he looks up at me.
And I know that this is where I am meant to be.

Here with him, the final touch to my long awaited for family.
Through all of the darkness, he is my light.

The day my son was born was truely love at first sight.
