A Mother's Love Letter 

by Lucy Watkins

Dearly Beloved,

O, how I miss you.  The years trudge by so slowly without you in my life.  I have counted the days since last we shared a night together. A passing glance as we cross each other's path is more than I can bear.  Each time you are near, I only want to take you in my arms and make you mine.  Certainly, I will lose my mind if I don't feel you inside me again soon. 

Without you there is not tomorrow.  There is only today and today is full of the enduring pain of your absence, my love.

I can no longer concentrate on the mundane tasks of every day life.  I fear my husband is beginning to suspect something.  I don't care.  I tell you!!  I just don't care if he knows or not, for everything in this life is a blur without you, dear one.

It is you that I long for.  You fill me with desire.  My daydreams are full of your sweet, gentle touch.  How my heart aches for you.  When shall we meet again?  Please, I beg you…come back to me.

You give me a reason to live.  I know we will be together again, someday.  We must.  I can't go on without you.  You are my relief from a hard day.  You are my comfort at night.  You are all that I want. 

Dear sweet sleep, I love you.  Please come back to me."
