The Life Inside Of Me: My Blessing

Never thought a life of another would be growing inside of me

It came as a surprise to me but a baby is not what I need

Abortion is never an option I see, adoption is not where my baby will be.

For the next 9 months it’s going to be you and me.

Having you nurturing inside of me will give me the strength to be strong.

At times I will break down and cry

Other times my smile will shine.

I can’t wait to see you grow.

To see pictures of your fingers and toes.

You tossing and turning inside of me inflicts pain but that fine with me

Because that lets me know Mommy’s baby is okay.

As your body constantly grow

My stomach will start to show.

Our bond will get stronger and stronger

Seeing the features of your face will excite me

Makes me wonder if you will have big brown eyes

Or those of your father

It really doesn’t matter because I will see.

I wonder if you are a girl or a boy.

Will I buy blankets with pink flowers or blue trucks.

With you growing inside of me, I began to think of my importance

How you will be a blessing to me and how blessed I will be.

Months have passed and I can no longer fit my pants

Stomach sits out big and far

I can’t but think there you are.

Can’t wait for you to be in mommy’s arms.

From here on out you are all that matters to me.
