The paraphernalia of our marriage could unite
Our bodies for only a few days, and our minds—never
Beyond the night of our room, your eyes blinked at the moonlight.
Our gorgeous king-queen bed could not keep our hearts together.
Preparing your favourite dishes, I eagerly wait
For my birthday cake, which you'd bring, with a lovely red rose
I stare through the wine cups that seem, like me, to contemplate
On their emptiness, which, lo, never, on their own, they chose
No one has been invited, I know. These decorations
I've done it so that if anyone comes, they shouldn't blame you.
You may be in a bar or at someone's celebrations.
Tales of the Night Ending: I can smell the morning dew.
Come, my love, I dare to bear your infidelity too.
I love you. My love for you is true. It will remain true.

..again
a pregnant pause - implodes from silent count-down ticks
The earth lay still, expectant, waiting for the Dawn
Creatures peeked out cautiously, the bunny and the fawn
Old Man Winter laughed, tightened his grip once more
The earth lay still, expectant, waiting for the Dawn
Winter's End came gliding in, breaking up the frost
Gentle rains replaced the snow, on zephyr's breath did blow
The earth lay still, expectant, waiting for the Dawn
Creatures peeked out cautiously, the bunny and the fawn
Heartfelt uterus patter
expectant mother feels her babe
exuding ultimate power
sensing new life will soon
become the most enthusiastic
exciting appendage to former self
Congratulations!
2019 is the expectant year.
You will get a baby, if you are expecting one.
If you are expecting to say "no" to a puppy, but you have an
eight-year-old who wants one, and you are not firm, you might
get one, so expect this to possibly happen.
You will get a vibrancy and fun-filled life, if you think you will.
You will lose all of your money at a casino, if you believe in losing.
If you do not expect to lose, you have a shot at maybe enough money
to buy a pair of hot pink jogging pants with the words Treasure Island running up the leg in fancy schmancy rhinestones..
If you expect them to fall apart in the washer, they will though.
If you expect to get run over by a truck, well, that can also happen.
2019 is the expectant year, after all.
I had the joy when I was younger
Of seeing my three baby daughters born,
The first in the summer of 1985
It made me go weak at the knees,
It was the most awesome thing that I had ever seen
The miracle of birth, is a precious event
And watching and helping them grow
Was the best experience I've ever had,
The most fun times and exasperating yes.
Then some years later in 2010
In a new life and love
I was expecting another daughter again
And that was magical too
But in the hours during labour she lost her fight
And without warning out went her light,
It tore us apart
And broke our hearts and every time I shut my eyes
I am back in the room and I am holding her in my arms,
So precious and beautiful only lacking one thing,
That thing called breath.
After a time, about a year, we tried again and now I have a son
And he is amazing in everyway, he makes me laugh
And drives me around the bend
But I know he's another miracle in the end.
And each day is different and challenging
But I would never give up on him for anything.

When situation really gets so tough
And faith, so difficult to have
Refusing to give up is the key and the hope
Our attitude towards the situation
Either gives or steals away our Joy
Being depressed is a factor of our thought
Hey!!! Get over your depression episode
For, somehow you are better than someone out there
Get off your problems
And go help someone
Give up not! Give up not!
For everything is changeable except God
Have hope and faith
Like a pregnant woman is pregnant with a child
Be pregnant with hope, idea, goals and beautiful imaginations
Like a pregnant woman is expectant and called expectant mother
Endeavour to be called an expectant being
Full of expectation and be active
For your creator is able and longing for the appointed time
To be gracious to you
So cheer up, for tough times is like a sowing time
But like a farmer sows with an expectation to harvest someday
YOU WILL HARVEST SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is ours, we don't have to justify.
We've worked hard together all our lives, we don't have to lie.
They hate that we succeed, they hate that we're all we need
Hidden curses fall onto our plates, cruel jibes behind our faces those people make
Expectant loyalty?
Bloodlines.........really?
Where were they in our hours of need?
You're my wife, the only one to whom I'll kneel
You're the reason I still breathe, you're my only queen
I'd turn my back on all mankind to be here for your needs.
