Before you came I was an only child
Free to run and be wild
How I had felt such disdain
When they first said your name
You took nine months of Mommy's care
It just wasn't fair
When they finally brought you back
I almost had a heart attack
Where were the horns and evil smile?
Your sweet little face did not seem vile
Something was really wrong
When you fell asleep at Mommy's song
How could a deamon baby hear a song so pure
Then I think I found the cure
Silently I snuck to your crib at night
Stuck in my finger and you held tight
That was when I felt my love for you break free
You were nothing like I thought you would be
Now I love you more and more everyday
And I am so happy your home to stay

That is so beautiful. Really, this brought tears to my eyes. It's so amazing how something so life altering and seemingly evil can be so beautiful, so pure and so... sweet. I wish that so many more young mothers took the time to love their children this way. How the world could change.
