A Child Within

The sensation of butterflies flying within As your heart joyously sings An Angelic being growing inside As your growing tummy gets harder to hide The bond with your baby already so strong You pray that nothing will go wrong The instinct of the Mother already working For any dangers that may be lurking Your tummy ripples, your baby has awoken The love you feel needs not be spoken Upon your tummy you place your hand On the growing bump that continues to expand What a wonderful, magical time to be alive Harbouring a soul that intends to eventually arrive Keeping baby safe, warm and protected While the umbilical keeps you literally connected Being in control of the life of another Is a great privilege to any a Mother Never take this role for granted, EVER As the way you shape your child, goes on forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
