A Child

I feel your kicks

I feel your heartbeat

I smile through the pain

You inspire me to be a better person

My soul grows warmer

My mouth trembles as I realize you are there

I feel the pain that consumes my body

You make me want to lift the world up on a platter

I hear your cry

Another spasm hits my body

I feel your body placed in my arms

You are my inspiration, my heart and my soul
