God Bless My Darling Child

This is from your dear Mother
Who expected you for months
Sometimes feeling distressed and exhausted
Though excited, from carrying another Soul

Eyes watched how she gained weight
Tummy bulging with time
Cravings shooting sky high
Conduct, a little bit unusual

She had many questions in mind
Said endless prayers for you
Believed God for a safe arrival
Hoped for your survival

Wishing you become a responsible human
And a respectable woman like her
The brightest without fear
Great in this world

When she saw your face for the first time
She embraced her treasure
Looked at you and declared
‘God bless my darling child’
