Why is motherhood so elusive?
Finally a diagnosis, conclusive.
So tired of treading water,
In  want of a son or daughter.
The battle is raging still,
Ever steady, always uphill.
Oft surrounded by gloom,
Soon happiness will bloom.
Life isn't fair,
Wish I didn't care.
The hurt is real,
Wish I couldn't feel.
I don't want him sad,
He's so ready to be a dad.
Too much pain,
Experience for my gain.
This road is rough,
It's making me tough.
Pregnancy shouldn't be maybe,
It should always equal baby.
Waiting for my turn,
Still trying to learn,
We're on the Lord's time,
Not mine.
