"A Mother's Journey" by elizabeth butera

"My life forever changed on the day you were conceived,
Your heartbeat gave me the reality of what I had achieved.
The stages of your development, the picture of how you grew,
Never completely knowing if I should buy in pink or blue.
Then came the day when I was able to hold you in my arms,
Hoping, as any mother would, to protect you against harm.
A precious little baby with ten tiny new toes,
An amazing set of lungs and a cute little button nose.
As you grow with lightning speed, I promise to treasure every day,
And try my best to give you a rainbow when the sky is dark and grey."
