I could never have imagined or understood
The magic and wonder of the experience
I'm now going through....
The miracle of waiting for you.

I have placed your first portrait
In this little book
And when you are old enough
You and I will take a look.

I will take your little hand
And run it over the sonogram of you
And tell you that is what I used to do
When this first portrait was taken.

Then I will tell you how much we wanted you
And how excited we were when we heard
When we got the word
That you were going to be born.

Then I will hold you in my arms
And I will give you the kisses and hugs
That I cannot give you yet
But these precious waiting days I will never forget.

Until the day when you are born
I can only show my love by nurturing you in my womb
And keeping your tiny baby body safe and warm.
Praying that God keep you safe from harm.

God keep you safe near Mommy's heart
To rest and grow my precious little one
For in God's timing you will appear
As our brand new daughter or son!
