Never had I imagined the amount of love I was able to give,
or feel the strength when I am weak and looking for a reason to live,
the emotions that I have always had but never knew how well they hid,
has completely taken over me now that I am 14 and having a kid.
Fear has never felt so real and my body`s changing so much,
I lay there watching my stomach but to scared to even touch,
days seem to come and go so quick seems my life is on fast forward,
not sure exactly how to care for you or what necessities I can afford,
I wish I knew how its going to be after I hold you to my heart,
I watch mothers that seem naturally fit but whens my instinct going to start?
Today I heard your heart beat and thats when reality finally hit,
I placed my hand upon my tummy and you kicking never quit,
I knew that you were gift one I will treasure day after day,
you are Gods answer to every prayer of guidance that often I would pray.
Author notes
I had my first daughter at 15, her name on this site is
Candy coated razors, we have grown up together and we are more like sisters than mom and daughter, actually.... she is my very best friend.

Beautiful,I like how after getting pregnant at such a young age you took the responsibility to raise your daughter. A wonderful discription of how you felt.
