After getting some lovely responses to a poem I posted last night (it was not my own, I found on internet) I decided i would write my own poem to put some of my feelings and those I think others can relate to on paper...
Dreams.
We dream of a belly, big & round
We dream of our baby inside safe & sound
We dream of the joy on our partner's face
On the day we can melt away our shared heart ache
We dream of their heartbeat strong & clear
Of two kicking legs reminding us they're here
We dream of that aisle in the supermarket floor
Filled with bottles & nappies & baby items galore
We dream of the announcement, of ways to tell our friends and finally we know our unhappiness can end
We dream to have the back ache, the sickness & more
And vow to never complain no matter how big or sore
We dream of it being our turn to have a baby shower
To accept the kind wishes, gifts and flowers
We dream of the labour and long for the pain
We know it will be worth it because of what we will gain
We dream of walking out the hospital door
With a newborn little baby, ours forever more
We dream to be able to have those sleepless nights & We'll know never will a mother have held her baby so tight
We dream of singing lullabys to nurse them back to sleep & how nothing in this world could make life more complete
We dream of having stretchmarks, as something to adore & vow to wear a bikini to show them off some more.
We dream of the outings we can take as a family
Of the memories we'll make as we live so very happily
We dream that miracles can happen, that dreams do come true because we can't imagine a life without a family to look forward to.
