At first glance I thought this piece was from Rosemarie Urquico. They are similar, but not the same. I’ve seen another one done as a poem. Here is a link to the others if you’re interested:

Melissa Janda - A Time to Write 
Melissa – this was beyond wonderful. I’m so glad you re-blogged. it. Now I’m heading to your two links for more heartfelt inspiration.
Thanks Sammy! I wonder if the other two were inspired by the Urquico piece. I think her’s is the original one.
I think you must be right. Some of the re-blogged piece had identical phrasing to one you had. It must have gotten “distorted” as it got passed on. The original is lovely.
Yes, it is very beautiful. But I have no idea who wrote it. 🙂

That’s beautiful, and it makes me so proud to be a writer and a reader 🙂 It’s gotten me all fired up to face a day of writing!
Makes me proud to be a writer, too! 🙂
That was great, so I just had to share it–posted the link on Facebook.
Best,
