Into Month No.9

Here are some poems to celebrate my last month of pregnancy!

**********

CELEBRATE
We celebrate the coming birth

Of an angel come to Earth,

Resembling now a basketball,

But soon our love, our life, our all.

**********

NOT ALONE
Running errands and talking on the phone,

I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.

Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee

Pushing and twisting that no one can see.

Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,

It is our little secret that only I can feel.

I look forward to your birth,

When I can kiss your skin,

But for now I will just smile,

As I feel you play within.

**********

MOTHER-TO-BE
Your eyes are bright and sparkling.

Your cheeks have got a glow.

Your belly's being touched and rubbed

by people you don't know.

You're craving weird, exotic foods

and calories don't matter.

You can't remember life without

an elbow in your bladder.

You're getting medical advice

from everyone you see.

Welcome to the joyous days

of Motherhood-to-be.
