The first one

I decide that I would start out with a little sweet and sappy poem that I wrote for my daughter inutero. I take no claim over it as the hormones that were raging through my body at the time wrote it for me....it is definitely one of the most cutesy things that I have ever written. Moms...it's a real tearjerker.

Unborn

There are so many things for me to tell you

To show you and help you do

I don't even know what you look like

Or how you smell

Yet already I love you with all of my heart

Every day I become more anxious for your arrival

To look into your eyes and pull you close to me

I want you to depend on me for everything you need

I worry that maybe I won't be enough

Or that I'll get things all mixed up

So bear with me when I don't get things right

And know that I do it all for you

For my daughter who I love
