under my heart.
Too small yet
to really be detected
Too tiny to be felt or heard,
but I know.
For so long now,
I have wanted
prayed for
dreamed of
and despaired for
this child.....
and now,
unbelievably
it is here.
I find it hard to comprehend
that is has finally happened.
I want to tell everyone,
yet no one!
I want to horde my secret to myself
but I also want to share my excitement
my joy
my laughter
my hopes
A new little life is growing
softly, silently
in my womb....
what a miracle!
