To My Unborn Child.

to my unborn child
I love you
but the selfishness in me
wont let you be.
to my unborn child
I want you.
come fill my life with sunshine and warmth
but then I feel this sharp pain in me
right now you are
and then no more.
to my unborn child
I await you.
waiting for your cries to fill my heart
with joy and hope
as bright as the sun.
to my unborn child
forgive me
for the selfishness in me
wont give you being
for here I am
weeping in my quiet place
to my unborn son
I want you
come again
when the day is bright
and all is right.
please come to stay...
to my unborn son,
I love you
with the fiercest flame of love
burning in me.
