As the sun slowly sets into the horizon
A woman standing there alone, thinking of the future
Thinking of the changes that are about to happen
For a new life is about to be born into this world
Am I ready…
For this responsibility?
Will be I the mother
That I never had?
The sun casting shadows about the room
The figure of a woman feeling her baby’s kick
Knowing that she is bringing this boy into a world
A world of hate, sadness, deception, and filthy lies
What will happen
If I can’t do my job?
Can I really do this
Without failing?
Thoughts of doubt… questions running inside her
Wondering if this was the right thing to be doing
Yet feeling the life dwell inside of her body
Reassures her that this is the correct thing to do
A kick.
A mother’s love.
A beautiful creation
Beginning inside of her.

This is what I got from the picture. I'm a guy. I will never be a woman. Therefore, I will never go through the pregnancy process or anything like that. So I can't entirely relate to the worries and question... but I did try with this poem. A bit different from some of my other works, yet pretty similar to my normal style.

Timothy, how come you can get into a woman's thoughts so well? Is there something we need to discuss?
Anyways, I loved this poem, very well written, if you were a woman (which I am thankful that you aren't 
) I would have asked if she had gone through this since it seemed so real and heart felt. Amazing job, it's awesome since I just did a report on this whole thing! 
*God Bless*

Thanks for point those errors out to me. I would have totally missed them. I wrote this kind of quick. I read back over it, but must have missed a few. Thanks so much for your comment and applaud

first off i think u have a few errors such as:
Will be I be the mother
That I never had?
should that be
Will I be the mother
That I never had?
and second should this:
A world a hate, sadness, deception, and filthy lies
be:
A world of hate, sadness, deception, and filthy lies
but besides that i think its an amazing poem even if u dont no exsactly i think its an amazing poem and picture together.
good luck in the contest
