Bless this child
This womb carries all
my dreams
That which I thought had died
All was set against me
Once upon a time I was barren
Alone with my tears
Praying for the heavens to
grant me a child
Someone I could share all this
love I have inside
Someone to call my very
own
Please watch over us
Let her be safe and warm
Till its her time to enter this world
She is the remaining pieces of
a love I once shared
My only strength not to give up
If I did not have this child growing
inside me now
Life would not be worth the pain
Barely even here
Just a small soul in my womb
Yet she is has given me so much
already
My heart has been restored
I found the strength to go on
With a single kick from this child
I found the love inside me
Listening to the heartbeat of this
gift
So may the angel's watch over me
Guide me into salvation
With this new breathe of life
Is a chance for new dreams to be
born
Till its time for new memories
To bring happiness once again
All I ask from the heavens above is to
Bless this child

This is a poem that every good mother knows. It is amazing how a baby can heal you. I know because my son did it for me. This is a wonderful take on the picture, you gave her a compassionate story. Thank you for entering the contest, good luck.
