Happy to be a mother

I feel blessed on that day

And the first time you moved a little

Am excited and quite nervous

I feel you are in the middle

The time was going on

! I know that you are growing

you were running a race

people asked me boy or girl?

I sat and wonder!

what will be your weight?

your height and hair texture

keep a plan for my prince or queen.

and many questions appeared

I don’t know how to answer

You are the most beloved gift

you are the sweet heart, of

your dad’s love and mine

can’t wait to see you

I know I am going to cry

and hurt but, I don’t

worry my angel, those tears

will return to joy and

happiness ‘when you smile at me’.
