My Gift

I would love to have a little one who looks like me,
and that be the only one to call me Mommy.
No one knows what it would mean to me to have a child growing inside of me.
All my life that's what I have wanted to be,I figured I would have two or three.
But when I was married I was busy you see,
Running a business and doing my thing.
I was lucky for just one day and then it was taken away.
It hurt me deep,I knew it wasn't meant to be or it would still be inside of me.
Almost everyone I know you see, has already had a baby but me.
This is a womans purpose in life to me
And I hope it happens eventually for me.
I feel time is running out for me and,
 I have no mate for life in my sight that I can see.
I have put it off for so long and now I think that was wrong.
I was waiting for the right time,when is that I am thinking in my mind.
I want there to be a husband and wife,
But I am not sure I want to do that twice in my life.
I know I could do it,just me,and still be the best Mommy to he or she.
But I want what is best for my baby 
And I know that would be to have a family.
I would do anything I have to,for Him to bless me with a gift like this.
I would devote my life to being the best Mommy I could be,
And always love them unconditionally.
I hope He sees fit for me to know 
The extraordinary love between my baby and Me.
But if this never comes true for me I have to remember,
He knows best because He knows the rest.
But if I do receive this blessing I seek,
I promise to be the best Mommy I can be to the one 
I have waited my whole life to see.
