and when she say may
she means one in a million
there is no way to describe
how the pain hits me
when another friend is pregnant
or when I see another child being neglected
by a mother who was granted a blessing
never will I hear
a heart beat deep within my womb
never will I feel a tiny kick deep within
never will I know how hard it is to deliver
but hten understand how it was worth all the pain
I know there are other options
like adoptions and foster care
but it will never be the same
as holding your own flesh and blood
seeing how they do the same things I did
or how their nose looks just like mine
I know I will love taking a child in
that needs a mother to love them
and I am Okay with it
but once in a while the pain hits
and I keep telling myself
my mom took me in
and one day
I will be a mom to a child
like she was to me
and I can not imagine anything better than that.

What a poignant piece…

This is such a great piece. You describe exactly what I feel. If I ever have the chance to be a mother I know I won’t concieve with the ease of what some people call a mistake. It’s hard to see when people who don’t want children become mothers who resent their role. I’d give most anything to cherrish and have what women like that take for granted.
I wish you the best.

Thank you Rowe, it is good to know that thier are others out thier like me, and I wish you luck to, my mom always said if it is meant to be it will happen.
Elsa Rowe
You’re welcome. And yup, my mom tells me the same thing. For now, I just focus on other things in my life and spoil the heck out of my nieces and nephews. :)

Beautifully written. I can’t begin to understand the true anguish you must feel at times but your an intelligent woman who knows that other life can be saved and loved.
I admire your character :-)

The pain is hard but knowing that I can offer a home to child that has none is worth more to me than ever being able to have my own. Thank you on your kind words.
