Mummy...

Month One

Mummy I have all my organs
But I'm only 8 inches long
I love the sound of your voice
When you're singing a song

Every time I hear it
I wave my legs and arms
The sound of your heartbeat
Soothes all my qualms

Month Two

Mummy today I learned
How to suck my thumb
I snuggle against your warmth
No longer dumb

I'm thinking of you now
As you cry yourself to sleep
Responding to each sob
And listening as you weep

Month Three

Mummy guess what?
I'm a little girl
I hope you can feel
Me fidget and curl

Now I cry with you
Tiny little tears
Unable to understand
Your unspoken fears

Month Four

Mummy I'm so excited
My hair has started to grow
It's just a little bit of stubble
Just wanted you to know

Mostly now I exercise
Curling fingers and toes
I can stretch, flex and twist
Everything but my nose

Month Five

Mummy I'm getting better
At everything I do
I can even half dance
To try and talk to you

Don't listen to that Doctor
He lied again today
Saying I can't think or talk
And He'll take the pain away

Month Six

Ok seriously mummy
Why do I hear him again?
That same Doctor
With excuses so lame

Now I understand
As I feel my life leave
Just remember mummy
For me you'll always grieve

Month Seven

Mummy you're still crying
Every single night
I don't hate you mummy
You just did what you thought right

From the beginning
You didn't know what to do
Only now you understand
I was a part of you

I would've liked to live
But you chose for me
So next time mummy
Give them a chance to be
