Birthgiver

9 months of cursing and scolding ,
9 months of cravings and vomits,
9 months of spitting and smiling,
9 months of smiles and tears,

A couple months of poop and pee
A couple months of tiny toes and fingers  
A couple months of pampers and napkins
A couple months of late nights, early mornings

Years of regret and appreciation 
Years of arguments and understanding 
Years of disappointments and achievements

A lifetime of gratitude and laughter,
A lifetime of praises and prayers,
A lifetime of loving and caring....

Birthgiver......Where my heart is!

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
