Peanut
I haven’t met you I haven’t seen your little hands Or wiggled your little toes But I’ve heard that tiny heart beating Watched you kicking on the screen And though I can’t feel you moving I know you’re there, growing strong I am already enthralled with you Already in-love with you My little peanut My…

Assumptions
It all may be personal Since it comes from within But all about me it’s not Just life, love and sin Dangerous assumptions Will cost you dear I can write thoughts Feel emotions From way over here Imagining, pretending It’s all a part of this scene Doesn’t mean I’ve done it My mind is a…

Someone Called My Name
Someone called my name this morning Audible and clear It woke me from the deepest sleep My heart beat fast with fear “Yes?” I spoke into the dark It sounded like my dad “Hello?” I called out louder still No reply was to be had My heart took on a slower pace I lay my…

Elated Expectations – For Kire
Long have we expected you With baited breath we’ve waited Little one, so sweet, so new Your family is elated 9 long months our love has grown It’s soon to overflow Now you’ve arrived, and all this love, We’re happy to bestow So many memories to be made So much to be learned We’ll hold…
