Always with you
When you cradled your tummy
Your warmth quilted me, I felt safe
When you called out to me
Know that I called back
When you rested in your quiet place
I enjoyed our perfect stillness
When you considered our future
Know that I listened eagerly with excitement and intrigue
When you bled
I wept
When you cried
I still held on
When you hold my scan
I look back to you with fondness
When you hug your tummy
Know that I hug every part of you
When you whisper my name
I answer through the silence
When you sleep at night
Know that I curl up, right beside you
When you play our song
I listen, I reminisce, I embrace our memories
When you hold out your hand
I hold on tight and don’t let go
Our love is painful, beautiful and endless
It resonates in the rain, the sun and the snow
It keeps me alive, it keeps me with you
Know that I am with you, I am always with you
