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
