When I first stared down at that stick turn pink
How could this be, was all I could think
A fifth child? How  will i cope?
Will things be okay? Do I have a hope?
I thought I was done  with diapers and things,
Bottles, rattles, and teething rings.
For three months I threw up, I wanted to die.
All I did was sleep, vomit and cry.
But as time went by, and my stomach started to grow,
My green complexion left, and I started to glow.
I told myself " what can I say" A baby is a blessing,
Things will be okay..
Then when I began to feel  your  feet kick my side,
I was in love with you instantly , prepared for the ride.
From the moment  they  laid you down on my chest
i knew of all my love affairs, this  was the best
When you looked up at me, as the doc cut the cord,
Tears fell down my face, and i thanked the Lord.
You were the most beautiful creature I ever did see
And i was grateful to God, you were given to me
I would love you always, i vowed to you then
A fantastic journey was about to begin
Seven years has past, since that magical  night.
Your smile is dazzling, your eyes shine bright.
You are my fairy princess! My little queen.
You will grow to be the most beautiful woman,
the world's ever seen.
One thing i know well, One thing that is true
My life wouldn't be complete, if i did;t have you.

Dear Greeneyes.

I myself would have had 5 children, but some one upstairs needed some extra little Angels. I have a boy and girl, and I too feel blessed. I know that I would have had 3 boys and my daughter, my baby, but as for the 2nd, I don't know. I love kids and I am happy to hear u finally came full circle in this magical journey of the birth of ur now 7 yr old beautiful girl, Sophia, who u have now embarrassed, lol, and the bond u both have was worth the wait. Your boys will be there for her throughout her journey and you have a wonderful long journey to share with them all. Hey, as well as us. From One Proud Mum To Another. Beautiful, Love Lyz. XX

Always a glow when there's a child. I liked this poem very much . It was nice to have a fresh outlook on these things some people, take as a given. nothing was given. It takes courage to love and raise a child these days. there is just so much happening ,and changes that may never see, the light of a new day. so This was a treat to read. kugs and hisses.
