    To Mommy's Child: A Prayer

    To understand the little kicks-
    the little flutters-
    knowing you're being put together in the secrecy, warmth and safety of my womb-
    being handmade by God, Our Lord, knowing that He loves you-
    Knowing that He cares.
    Before you were made-
    He Knew You-
    knitted you together-
    tiny hands and feet-
    one day will be running-
    climbing and playing-
    learning and growing.
    A tear I shed-
    knowing I cannot protect you from every moment of trouble that comes your way,
    but in my prayers you'll stay-
    knowing that God will always send his angels watching you.
    My Dear Child, right now-
    Know that you are safe-
    Know I pray-
    Know enough that God loves you to give mommy faith that everything will be okay.
    I'm not perfect, mistakes will be made-
    but know in God's arms-
    you will safely be covered by His wings;
    Be raised Mommy's child- in His grace-
    In His love-
    In His strength-
    You're the apple of His eyes;
    The picture of His heart-
    To Him you belong and never depart.
    Rest now, Sweet Child of Mine-
    as the days of your birth grow near in wondrous ways-
    Know In His Love you will be raised...
    Amen...

    I found this poem very moving. Whenever anyone asks me why God put us here my response is always, "to care for the children"

    Dana, like I said very touching and heartfelt poem. I don't have any children either, but I do have nieces and nephews who I worry about every day and for their future. Very talented writer Dana! Arthur

    dana your poem really touches the heart i loved every sentence thank you for your inspiring words

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
