I've loved my child right from the start, A feeling that's filled my entire heart, I went through the labour and suffered the pain, For many long hours with nothing to gain. I've spent sleepless nights being awake, Though its been a while my arms they still ache, Ive sat and I've wondered of how he would grow, The love of my family that he'd come to know. The sound of his voice as he learned to talk, Watching his steps has he tries to walk, I have a child that i really love so, I am his mother yet nobody knows. Ive spent all of these months feeling him grow, Ive lived through it all and have nothing to show, I don't get invited to chat with young mothers, Because i don't have a baby like all of the others. Ive got some stretch marks that i'de like to hide, But i don't have a pram with a baby inside, The people I've known for so many years, Avoid me now which adds to my tears. I don't know how long ill be feeling like this, But one thing i know, my baby i miss, When mother's day comes it will be very hard, I wont have any flowers not even a card. And just because he's not here with me, I still have a son i wish i could see, But one thing i know and this is for sure, Ill be his mother forevermore. X x x x
