I'M Very Fortunate

All I ever wanted was a perfect, mini-me child of mine, To feel it grow inside my body until it was our first meeting time, For which I would produce in tender love and intimacy, But for some reason or not mother nature didn't quite agree, Doctors, Gynacologists, Nurses, Tests and lots of injections, Weight, height, age 'as to be approved' like your up for the elections, But what I see is I'm Very Fortunate to be having IVF indeed, Over look the first letters of "I'm Very Fotunate" and what does it read?

This poem really captures the yearning of an expectant mother and the loss of a dream, yet it beautifully ends with a gracious attitude. Very well written.

I'm with you here, Claire. This could be me almost 30 years ago. Today I'm the proud mother of a pair of twins, now adults. May your journey be a fruitful one. ^__^
