My Child

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

your mom.

And so now,

my precious child,

I shall carry you

HOME.!!
