I Will Always Recall
I remember every feeling every second
Etched in my memory it will always beckon
As though it was yesterday vividly acclaimed
I knew my life would never be the same
But I was ready when the news was given to me
The doctor “said you are pregnant” what to see?
She showed me the written proof
I jumped in the hall almost hitting the roof
My dream came true, my wish, and my bliss
God had heard my prayers I feel his wish
After many years of crying, doubt and sighing
I was to become a parent no more trying
I rushed around like a women that was smitten
Nothing could stop this gaiety, glistening
Now I need to buy books on pregnancy
Baby names, and good diapers with absorbency
Paint the room blue or pink trim?
Change the light switches to dim
What a whirl win of thoughts and ideas
Now caressing my face were happy tears
So on went the days turning to weeks
Closer to the day I could hardly see my feet
The time had made its approach
Two weeks early its time to get coached
She made her arrival nearly 14 hours later
My baby girl, no feeling could have been greater
(Inspired by Gareth James "Best day of your life contest"!)
