My child

You need to know; my child
how much you were desired.
That years and years of trying,
for your presence, were required..

I know that you’re a miracle
a blessing from above;
and with every breath I take
I’ll exhale, endless love.

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.
