I rest my hands on my stomach
hiding a secret
that no one can know
[a baby]
just the word makes me smile
a child
MY child
and no one knows
save me
I rub my stomach lightly
before I go to sleep
[goodnight baby]
I whisper
before I close my eyes
[a baby]
the word
makes me smile
a child
MY child
and no one
can take him from me
I press my hands to my stomach
as the cramps begin to sound
baby, you’re too early
[seven months along]
but then my water breaks
[a baby]
the word alone
makes me smile
a child
MY child
and no one
can take him from me
I fall asleep
with him in my arms
he’s tiny
but okay
he’s strong
and I know
that he will be okay
a baby,
MY baby
and no one
can take him from me

Sweet
I really like this. Facing an early birth is very scary, but I do have this feeling. Often I worry that I am not worried enough, I just know he will be fine and you did a good job putting this into words. Thank you! -
