We long for a child, two, or ten.
An even dozen would be alright,
as long as my husband helped birth them!
There is such fun in trying to procreate!
Though every month when our Auntie visits,
so much disappointment drips from my eyes.
Fortunately, I am auntie to many.
When I visit with my nieces and nephews,
I clean their faces, read stories and distribute hugs.
I love my little ones so much.
A smile can make you glow inside,
and a child's hug can make you want to dance for joy!
Maybe we'll be blessed soon.
With our own brood of children,
then I'll be wondering why we tried so hard!
But I'll love them, no matter what.
