For Keepsakes
you must of have been a beautiful baby
for when I first became pregnate I didn't
want any children
with a tiny frame and underweight body
I was content with own self just being me
and now the biggest choice had to be dealt with
thru each doctor visit of getting stuck with needles
drinking ungodly fluids to radiate my body
and to be poked and probed by doctors I didn't know
not to mention having swollen feet severe heartburn everyday
hemroids and the throwing up for four months did I really
want to put myself thru this all to be a new mother
I knew when I first saw the ultra sound images
there was no other choice but to keep battling the odds
that were stacked against me
as I talked to you each day in my womb I kept letting
you know that mama would keep you safe from any storm
and there shall never be any doubt of me not wanting you
so my little darling you must have been a beautiful baby
for today I am watching you turn into a beautiful young woman
with a beautiful heart like your mama
