Such a tiny, fragile heart
Beating along with mine
Another body, another soul
One I will protect for the rest
And all of my life
You have not been born yet
But I will see you soon
For now, take your sweet, sweet time
Grow as you should
Come into this world on time
Not too early
For when you are born
I want you to leave the hospital when I do
And come home
It won't be easy
I know this to be true
And though at times
I may become overwhelmed
Nothing will stop me
I will look unto you and smile
You will be my shining star
My saving grace
You are my redemption
As the years go by, your father and I
Shall instill the proper values
Do not lie, do not cheat
Do not steal and please baby please
Treat those you know or meet
With respect and kindness
Do not discriminate
Because of what other people say
Make your own decisions
Your life is your own
Think the way you want to
No matter your gender
Or even your sexuality
I will love you the same
For you are my child
You are one part of me
I love you sweet, sweet little baby
And one day, we will meet
*In honor of my child yet to be born. EAD: October 21, 2014*
