My Little Angel

There she was, my little angel. I couldn't stop staring at her. She had just become mine and I couldn't put her down. I held her for so long that my arm went numb and finally fell asleep. I was smitten, so completely and totally in love with this tiny little being that I could now call my own. I wondered how a mother couldn't want her, but only for a split second as I secretly thanked God for making her my baby. I knew in that moment that I would spend the rest of my life loving her and trying to make her happy. Nothing else mattered in the world, but listening to her breathing in and out and watching her tiny little chest rise up and down again with each breath she took.
