When one becomes two
April 29th, 2006 by ejwidjajaThis poem was written by Jacquelyn deLaveaga. I was reading this while
baby Annie squirming and kicking inside my tummy
…
A new life begins-
a fresh heartbeat,
a flutter of feet
a new soul.
Little miracle placed in my womb-
I feed you, I nurture you
and the string between our hearts grows strong.
Little one growing in my womb-
Daddy and I lay our hands upon my
growing belly
and wait for you to flutter a reply.
Little person living in my womb-
I welcome and cherish your consuming
presence
and long to gaze into your deep, warm
eyes.
Little babe curled up in my womb-
I anxiously prepare for your arrival
and dream of touching your soft new skin.
Little child born of my womb-
I embrace your tiny self
and dream of holding you forever.
Oh baby, sweet baby-
a fresh heartbeat,
a flutter of feet,
a new soul.
