My Child

I posted this poem back in September, and I just recently read it again. It is still my heart.

MY CHILD
My child, I carried you in my heart before you were even born And dared to dream that you were real.
My child, I carried your picture with me since the day I received it, And dared to love a child I was yet to meet.
My child,I carried you in my arms at last,and gazed in helpless wonder at your face, And dared to lose my heart to you.
And now, my child, a dream fulfilled, a prayer answered, a family created, I have dared to become a mom.
And so now, my precious child, I shall carry you home.
