Unreservedly Me

So I wrote this poem right before I had my daughter in 2002:

Thoughts enter my mind of the things that are not seen,

Wondering why my life is headed down this path,

Who would’ve thought that I would be where I am today?

Soon to give birth to a little child inside of me, 

Praying that nothing bad would ever fall upon you,

Wanting you to exceed to a higher level than me,

Knowimg that you will depend on me to help you grow,

Grow into a well educated and beautiful young lady,

And  I know that being a single mother won’t be easy,

But I’m willing to give it my all,

Praying that I will never steer you into the wrong path,

Oh how, I can’t wait until we get the chance to meet each other,

But what I want to say now is that I love you with all my heart,

And I always will.
