the moment i knew i was conceiving,
excitement filled my life and
I couldn't contain my happiness, it was a pure bliss!
day by day i prayed,
"Lord, help me to become strong for my little one.
Guide me in all that I do that I may become a good mother."
thanksgiving and praise i offered to the Lord,
you are the grandest gift God has ever given to me.
the life of my offspring, my own blood and flesh,
all was a blessing in such a perfect timing.
then you started kicking and moving,
heartbeat i could hear,
each day felt like a fun ride in a rollercoaster,
i had that jittery, fluttery feeling,
yet it was all fun and worth it
knowing that we were riding together.
and finally, the anticipated moment came, the fruit of my labor.
i saw you for the first time, like an angel sent from above,
you were crying, restless, and was seeking for comfort.
and then I carried you in my arms,
"hush, hush now my baby. mommy is here"
then you moved your head up,
hearing mommy's voice made you feel secured.
years have passed, you're growing up.
the bond between us grows stronger with each passing day.
you become my consoler and my best friend,
i become your best buddy at home and your caring playmate.
we have shared a lot of up and down moments,
together we braved the challenge.
HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE LOVED BY YOU...
son,
you just don't know how thankful I am that you are here with me,
for you i'll do the best I can.
to be your good provider, your chum, your MOTHER.
i love you...
