Not Under, But in My Heart
(Dedicated to my children) I’ve followed God’s plan Those months and years before
As you grew within my heart I still can swallow hardly Amorous for every quirk
I will never truly capture Though another parent bore you The tears of joy each momenta stranger won’t get the wit © Heather LM Cieslik
pondering now, I decide
preparing me for your arrival
His greatness formed to survive
I felt you grow inside of me
though you’d never my flesh
In my dreams, it’s you I’d see
gracing my soul a love
I’d not learned before
coming graciously from above
recalling first holding you
a tiny eager hand in mine
in my heart develop through
this new love that we’d feel
as our journey of adoption
would make this feeling real
my perfect emotions in words
your lives with me are treasured
as being Momma to thirds
I’d like to think I too
for you grew inside of me
before it was you I knew
or understand how a child
grows in your heart, not under it
