Clicks, whistles and pulsed calls
coming from whales you can't see
Within the compounds, no walls
only ocean water and Captain Lee
Sonograms and ultrasounds, its a joy
when whale voices are heard !
Binoculars views, soon they deploy
leviathans swim without a word
The echo returns not for they do run free
always returning to their summer grounds
Into the womb of the deep blue sea
they go, to a place where they can't be found.

I have new boobs, AKA ' belly boobs 'if you will
Diseased ones whacked off, belly fat fill the void
Would really rather have had hemorrhoids
But that wasn't my reality, no triviality
for sure
Got a great deal though
Two for one, cancer gone and tummy tuck
Found the best plastic surgeon by luck
actually he found me
Post op, proud surgeon praised his work
They look amazing, I did a great job
You could wear a bikini with that tummy so tiny
Ahh---no
You would think if you had a belly ache it would be in your boobs
but it's not
You could get stabbed with a pencil or get drawn on with stencils
But at least something is there to give some shape
An absolute TEN I would rate
They're kinda lumpy and bumpy
but help me not look too frumpy or dumpy
in my clothes
No more ultrasounds or thoughts abound
of careless cells placing one in peril
Or biopsies or missed diagnoses
Leading to destruction then autopsy
Disease free--YIPPEE !!

You're pregnant.
The doctor confirms what I already knew
And the fear and shock set in.
I'm to young,
Only 20, to immature
I'm not ready.
But this little person is a part of me
And I already love it.
It's a boy.
Four ultrasounds later I finally know what you are
And I cry.
I was hoping for a pink baby
And I'm hormonal and scared.
How do you raise a boy?
What will he like?
But I already loved him with all of me.
It's time.
After three trips to the hospital for pre-term labor
It's finally real now.
Twenty-nine hours in labor in the hospital
Almost three hours of pushing
And I see him
And I hold him
And I know in that moment my life has begun.
Before that day I was selfish
And on a downward spiral of self-destruction
But from that moment on
My life was you
And I may have given you life
My dear sweet love
But on the day I realized I was carrying you,
You saved mine.
You will always be
The only man that mommy will ever need
And with every second
Of every day
I will love you
More than the moment before
And I will keep and protect you
For the rest of time.

Seems like just yesterday we got the news,
"It's a boy!" Oh my, what to do, what to do,
Doctor appointments every single week,
Ultrasounds reassuring and bringing us peace,
With my hormones bouncing all around,
Insecurities in my weight were found,
Stretch marks slowly taking over,
I can't keep 'em under control,
And these chocolate cravings, I can't seem to just say "NO!"
The sweets are so delicious,
But oh my god the heartburn, It's just too darn vicious,
Now these are minor issues, So I'm not really stressing,
Because this little one inside me, Well he's my biggest blessing,
And although time is slowing down a bit, I will not complain you see
Because right around the corner, An angel will be born to me!

A new path is what we seek.
The surroundings are taking a peek,
Going through, very meek,
Seeing no bleaks,
Getting piqued,
While hearing creaks,
In the new paths that we seek...
The new path is what is found,
Going through forests bound,
Going through the path inbound,
With soothing and raging water sounds.
Walking confound,
Silence profounded,
Sight astounded,
Passed through burial grounds...
Seeking for another way around,
Noises resound,
Spirits surround,
The paths newfounded,
Our instincts compounded,
Followed by the hounds,
Echoes in ultrasounds,
Passed through mysterious breeding grounds...
Going to stamping grounds,
Trying to get off this ground,
With those burial mounds,
Death moving the wheels around,
Silhouettes running aground,
Trying to leave safe and sound,
Passing through some hunting grounds...
Seeking for common grounds,
The mistaken path redounded,
Regretful screams abound.
Plans propounded,
Though some are fouled,
Throughout the paths that were found...
However, most are lost and wounded,
Most tended to walk out,
Some minds and hearts full of doubts.
Hearing salvation shouts,
From all these new paths walked and found...

Well doctor, its like this..... Why cant you find out the source of my pain? Why cant you even get on the right track? I've been in pain for a while now. But these past few months, pain each and everyday. More symptoms surfacing every week. Many trips to hospital, test after test. Hmm, Blood work, ultrasounds, x-rays, nuclear bone scans. Some days the pain will come and go through out the day, which sometimes I can deal with it, because I am used to it! Other days, it takes me down, and takes me down hard. Slowing me down from proceeding in my everyday life! Or stopping me from having any energy at all, even to spend quality time with my children. I'm sick of this monster living inside of me! Your the one with the degree, why cant you figure it out! Give me an answer!

~~~ To Royal and Ezzelle~~~
with congratulations
Pink Joy
When I was six months pregnant
I knew a girl it would be.
They did no ultrasounds then,
it was just a feeling, you see.
I bought a wicker bassinette,
white and frilly pink.
So sure that it would be a girl.
My hubby didn't know what to think.
The second that I heard her cry
I said " Is she okay?"
knowing it would be a girl
before the doctor had a chance to say.
So wrapped in a pink blanket
they handed me my little one.
Within two minutes hubby changed his mind,
no longer wanting a son.
Within a day he had forgotten
that he actually wanted a boy
and you'd have thought it was his idea
to have this pink bundle of joy.
