on the first day i got the confirmation
i felt elated cannot explain what a joy in my heart
every inch of me is what you will become.
40 weeks I carry you inside my womb
regardless of the pain I will endure for my first born
a joyous sacrifice for a journey I have not known
my body’s weakness is your strength
the roller coaster ride of emotional and physical challenges
such the terrible morning sickness
the occurrence of
various body changes
every beat of my heart i share with you
all that I breath goes through and through in every nerve of
you
everything I take connects to your life
my first born, i am in you.
during these times
i wonder the contour
of your lips when you smile
i wonder your eyes what it looks like
i wonder your tiny hand would fit to your mother’s hand
almost everything about you
every inch of your body how you are formed into my tiny womb
my first born, I am in you.
now what a joy as i carry you
i felt ecstatic all the doubts and fears banished
because when I saw you
my first born now i am in you
a God’s gift....... my life’s greatest fulfillment.
