So young and so in love
in a marriage from above-
Countless surgeries on my
ovaries,
How much can one woman
suffer through?
The allure of having a baby
was always a dream come true,
yet when I was told I was
infertile, I felt less than my true
value.
Twenty-three is too young
to find out a baby is not an
option,
I just couldn’t see in my future
the choice of adoption.
Forgive me for my admittance,
forgive me for my greed,
I knew I deserved remittance,
my hopes far away…Godspeed.
Crabby days came with a tummy
ache indeed,
crying for no reason,
for my body did mislead.
A doctor visit approached
and I was scared I needed
another procedure-
but how many heart aches
can one woman endure?
...I just wasn’t sure-
An ultrasound confirmed
a baby I was to give birth,
right then and there I
knew my life had...
...hope and worth.
A dream come true, but still
felt apprehension to lose this
life,
for it was always my dream to
be a mother as well as a wife.
Thirty-eight weeks later a
baby girl in my arms,
my world changed and I’d
forever protect her from harm.
She just turned eleven yesterday,
as February twelfth two thousand and six
was my life changing day!
Gratitude and appreciation for
my beautiful creation-
oh, what an outstanding situation
that changed my life...
-in the most positive way.
