from the first time i met you...
i loved you. and i knew,
it would last for always.
you would only be mine for a moment,
just one. while i held you in my arms.
my neice, such a tiny little one.
such little feet and tiny hands,
wrapped around, clutching my finger
so small, so strong. a butterfly
lightly resting... so fleeting,
yet captured in my mind.
one moment of warmth
suspended in a cold snowy winter.
