I Will But I Still
It started with a dream of him, immediately he stole my heart
His tiny wide-eyes bewitched me and I held him tight in my arms
But then I discovered it was a dream
And being awoken made me grieve
It took some time but I realized that he will exist in fact
And this is now my preparation to get myself intact
I know that I will love him more than anyone has ever loved another being
To the greatest extend that my love could reach and I will do anything for him
I will raise him to be compassionate not just the things you would learn at college
And I will make sure he is healthy and wealthy in love and knowledge
I will raise him to have a strong mind and the strongest most purest heart
I will guide him and protect him and show him my refined love for art
I will be his warrior, his earth angel and always there to console
And I have no doubt in my mind that he is the reason that I become whole
But I am not yet ready for him to make his grand entrance in my life
I still need to discover the little bits of me that I’ll only find in other parts of the world
I still need to evolve into the woman that can rear him
I still need to dream and make mistakes
I still need to explore and be spontaneous and selfish
I still need to fall and pick myself up
I still need to love and be loved
I still need to grow
And when I am ready for him, I’ll know
