Unplanned
Posted by: thelustpoet on: April 12, 2009
I was so scared
My hands trembled to hear the words
I stared at my stomach for days
It just never seemed to end.
I looked around at all my friends,
Having drinks and going to bars, enjoying life
While I sat at home all alone
In bed, exhausted by ten.
It all seemed so complicated, surreal
But not really at all.
I didn’t think I’d ever be there
There was just no turning back now
When the pain of it consumed me,
My body wretched in pure angst
In one instant he was there,
His little body placed in tired arms,
An angel face
I knew what it was all along, my life
I’d never felt so in love before
So completely unconditionally
My son, my little baby boy
No mistakes, this gift
From God.

That is so lovely. I know the feeling. You think you know and have experienced love until you have a child, then you start to fully understand what love is. It’s wonderful.
