Wanting a Baby

a child that was never concieved
but you live in my heart
in my soul
in my dreams
in all that i ever believed

i will never know what its like
to hold you close to my heart
but i feel your heart beating
your tender skin
your soft hair
the warmth i feel from your breath

some may say i do not understand
what its like to be a mother
but in my heart
my soul
my dreams
i am always a mother

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
