A living miracle

A precious flower waiting to bloom

Ready to escape your mother’s womb

I remember sitting in that room

Already creating scenarios in my head

Holding you in my arms for the first time

Looking at you with dread

Finally, I have somebody to call mine


Love at first sight


Initially the thought of you gave me a fright

How will a broken human like me be able to parent

Will my salary be able to take care of you and still have enough left to pay rent

Your existence is magical and baby I love you always
