Letter To My Child

Little Child,

I know you not, for who you are.  True, I dream.  Dreams full of possibilities.  The person that you are, the things in life that I know you can accomplish.  The strong man or woman you will grow up to be.  Who you might fall in love with.  Who will break your heart.  All the things that I want to show you, to be able to teach you.  All those lessons that I know you will teach me.  I wish I could shelter you, protect you from the cruel and hateful world.  The unforgiving, the jealousy, the pain.  I wish I could bring you into a perfect world created just for you.  But I can't.  All I can do is promise you this.  I promise you a home, secure, and full of love.  A shelter to hide in, a sorce of strength and encouragement when the world has wronged you.  And no matter how many times you leave, a warm place where you can always come home.  I can't give you much, but my heart and my love.  I love you, your father does too.  Together we will do all we can to give you what you need and all those things that you really don't.  We are waiting.  Waiting to see you, to touch you, to hold you.  Take your time sweet child, we will be here when you come.

Always Now and Forever
Your Expecting Mother
