Dear Child

Inside I feel you
Watching my belly move
A human life that’s true
Aiden Gage
Starts a new page
The book of life inlay
I can’t wait till the day
Labor room
Leaving your cocoon
The hours draw not soon
The sun leaves comes the
Moon
Black hair
Cold and bare
Skin wrinkled and fare
For you I care
18 years
Grown is what I fear
No more baby will draw near
When you turn adult my eyes
Leak tears
