Poetry

Inspired by my 20 week scan today that showed Hefalicious fighting fit & fabulous. It was wonderful to see my recent illness has not troubled the wee one. I am also feeling better...the anti-biotics are doing their thing. Thank goodness.

For Hef

Do you know how many years,

I've longed for you behind the tears?

In my dreams you often came,

I touched your face & spoke your name.

With empty arms I would awake,

So heavy with familiar ache.

But broken hearts need faith to mend,

And Hope remained my constant friend.

Deep down within I always knew,

I'd find a path that led to you.

Discovering you were on your way,

Completely took my breath away.

I clambered from my darkened hole,

Elation tumbled through my soul.

The battles fought, the pain I'd knew,

You lifted, squashed and overthrew.

The sweetest gift I've ever known,

Your heartbeat underneath my own.

My precious babe, my Saving Grace,

I live for our 1st sweet embrace.
