An ODE to my Son
May 29, 2015
My son
My greatest achievement so far.
Fro the first ultrasound to the gender appointment
Your like luminous rays that shine light on my days.
I wait for that day where I can finally meet you ,
hold you and never let go.
Instead of hearing your strong heartbeat, hearing your sweet little coos
dealing with smelly diapers at 3 AM
praying for that extra hour of sleep
but instead saying good morning to the sun as we taste our morning coffee.
I hope that one day I touch your heart just as you have touched mine
My son
My beautiful gift from god .
who lights up my days.

What inspired me to write this piece was my little bundle of joy expected to arrive on August 8th. Although i havent met my son I already feel a bond towards him like no other. He is my world. I want to push myself just for him. What I want to get across to the reader is the fact that i am a teen mom. I know it wont be easy but it will all be worth it in the long run.
