Fingerprints

Your fingerprints are on my heart,
Ever since I held your little hand.
You touched me.
Even though I never heard you speak
You taught me.
You taught me about love.
You taught me about caring.
You taught me about courage.
You taught me about faith.
You taught me about happiness.
You taught me about sorrow.
You brought me closer to my loved ones.
You brought me closer to myself.
In the time I cared for you
My life changed,
Never to be the same again.
Because of you
I know I will be more prepared for life.
All this from tiny fingerprints
That touched my heart.
Because of this
You will forever live in my soul,
Never to be forgotten.
I will always love you.
You are my child.
