I can feel the tiny kicks and tiny punches

of tiny hands and feet

I can hear the heartbeat

of my future

I feel the growing, changing, transforming

of my life all the time

I imagine what the face will look like

the grasp of little fingers

The cries, the laughs, the smiles

I'm filled with hope and worry

The day is coming

I feel it creeping closer

The day that my fate changes

when our destinies intertwine

The day that I will hold you

and look into your eyes

I will see the similarity between us

and burst with unmasked pride

The days will turn into months and years

as I watch you grow

I will know I made the choice

to give a life without regret.
