Not quite a woman
no longer a girl
somewhere around twenty
in school and so unsure
I couldn't believe the possiblitity
that i might have helped to create life
but quickly found out
it was all in my mind
I know I'm not ready
not settled at all
just started college
back in the fall
My biggest dream
to have a little girl or boy
a sign of love
that can never be destroyed
I long to hold an angel
in these empty arms of mine
to have finally created
that perfect design

Congrats on the silver!
This is beautiful, children are a god send, such precious little miracles...but also very hard work. Your poem speaks clearly of the longing, there is so much time yet. A superbly penned piece, congrats on a very well earned silver

I love this! I am twenty myself and in school. I'm a military fiancee` so I know I may not always have him around and sometimes it's going to be like raising a child myself but it's worth it all.
