Another Poem

11/20/10

You need to know; my child

how much you were desired.

That years and years of trying,

for your presence, were required..

I haven’t felt you kick yet,

or seen your beating heart.

But as sure as the sun rises;

I’ve loved you from the start.

I can’t wait to meet you

and see your precious smile;

then all the doctors, tests… and shots

will finally be worthwhile.

It takes so long; my child

until you can appear

but in my heart and in my dreams

you’re already here.

We only got the news today

that your life we did create.

So snuggle down within my womb

and I’ll hold you while we wait.
