To My Unborn Child
Blood of my blood
Joy of my life
Gift granted by God
How would be my life if there were no you?
You are the most precious thing I have ever had in my life
Nested for 9 months inside my wombs
Breathing the same air as me
Sleeping on the same bed as me
I felt you growing
And moving inside of me
What I felt were more than bliss
It was like you have been sent to me from heaven
I remembered my delivery
What a paradox!
The utmost pain and
The utmost joy
Happening at the same time
You make me feel my womanhood
You can’t imagine how dear you are to me
I just want to let you know that
I will do whatever it might cost
To protect you inside this stormy world
(Dedicated to my unborn child, lol!)
