A Message of Love

A Poem by Michelle Gent

miracle of life

A Message of Love-

To my darling daughter,

First you were a bubble, then a flutter
Rising to the surface then dispersing
That's exactly what I felt
The first time I felt you moving around
inside of me

A miracle, my miracle
Too good to be true
My child born of love and persistence

The first time I heard your heart beating (fetal monitor)
My heart skipped a beat overcome with joy
overwhelmed with emotion
Causing my heart to swell and eyes to overflow

The first time I saw you (sonogram)
You looked like a jelly bean
A photo, a tangible memento to hold
Finally a part of you I could touch
That's when it finally felt real to me
I couldn't contain my excitement
I'd show your photo to anyone that would look

You an entity created by two souls in love
Producing one being
Making our family complete
His seed, my egg, the grace of god above
Kicking, rolling, hiccupping inside of me
was astounding and surreal

My silhouette no longer my own
Looking like that of a Picasso
You a work of art in progress
I felt contented and blessed
to be carrying such a gift

My body will never serve such purpose
or hold greater significance
then at this very moment in time
I look forward to meeting you my baby girl
