~baby~ Poem by Emma Jane Rae

How can I accept,
Such a heartbreaking fact,
Something I always thought,
Would happen just like that,
The desire and urge,
To become a mother,
Can not be satisfied,
Just by being your lover,
I want to love,
And be loved back,
Maybe by a daughter, or a son named Jack,
To hold their little hands,
And look deep in their eyes,
To tell them the truth,
And never speak lies,
I want to be the one,
To wipe away your tears,
I want to be the one,
You tell all your fears,
I want to be the one,
To teach you all things,
To mess about and dance and sing,
And when you get older,
And are in trouble at school,
I will understand,
As I too was once a fool.
The time will eventually come,
When you start to date,
And I will get sad,
Thinking I've lost my best mate,
When you grow up,
And fly the nest,
I'll grieve for the sadness,
Of my own success,
But I will beam with pride,
At the person I grew,
Because I did a great job,
Like I always knew,
So many wishes,
But I only have one,
That's for someone to call me,
MUM
