Child of my Womb

You have been hidden in the darkness of my womb
I have felt your existence beneath my swollen belly
child conceived and protected by the arms of love
a mixture of our blood yet your own unique being

Powerful contractions as pain gains intensity
wave after wave,memorable moments tick by
watching the clock in anticipation of your arrival
anxious to kiss the soft sweet flesh of your cheek

This peaceful sensation that overtakes my body
gives me the power to push one more time
delivering into this world a precious innocent soul
with arms outstretched and so very helpless

Captivating my heart with a single glance
as our eyes meet for the very first time
your skin smelling of innocence so sweet
a newborn heart beating in tiny rhythmical thumps

Promising to guide you through life with patience
nurture you until your own path in life unfolds
hold you in my heart until my very last breath
your birth will forever be the greatest day of my life

Dedicated to my 2 boys Jesse & Josh . Love you both with all of my heart and soul ......
