Expecting Love
We’ve never met, we’ve never spoke
I do not know your name
And yet in spite of all these things
I love you just the same
I’ve never laid my eyes on you
I’ve not yet heard your voice
And yet I give my heart to you
(As if it were a choice)
I eagerly await your touch
I long to smell your scent
Until that day I’ll nurture you
The time will be well spent
You’ll learn of me from deep within
My moods, my moves, my sounds
You’ll grow inside me week by week
(I’ll not resent these pounds!)
And one day not so far from now
You’ll make your big debut
Into this world you will be born
And I will welcome you
And though we will have newly met
We both will surely know
Our love was born a different day
About nine months ago
I wrote this in 2001 right after I learned I was pregnant with Jadyn. We had been trying for her for 4 years or so and I cannot possibly communicate effectively how I felt after learning she was on her way…
