I heard your heartbeat today for the very first time
I saw the image of you inside and began to cry
What a miracle growns inside me
This little child of mine
Little toes and fingers I count five at a time
Perfectness sweet and so innocently unsuspecting
Small and fragile you will need protecting
I feel your movements inside of my womb
I can’t explain what it is that makes me love you so
I don’t know who you are, but you are a part of me
A tiny little creature...will you be like me?
Can I trust that I will make the right decisions?
Can I make you happy in this life that I give you?
I want so much for you, but not sure how to do it
Will just doing my best be what it takes?
So much responsibility for this little baby inside
Am I ready for this? Can I handle it this time?
Did I learn from my mistakes so that I can help you?
Will you love me and trust me when I say No to your plight?
It is for your own good I will try to explain
But just like the child that I was, you will want your own thing
Please believe that I will always do what is best
I’ll be your Mother, your confidant and hopefully a friend
Always know that you can come to me regardless of the time
No matter who, what, where, when or why
Just remember little one who is still inside of me
Thru the good and the bad, your Mommy I’ll always be
