My heart is beating slower
I can almost hear the heartbeat
Nervousness hits me in the lower
A hundred questions out to greet
As I bring you home...
Will I be a good mom?
Will I be able to love you as my own?
Will I hear you when you silently implore?
WIll I rise above my emotional state and not groan
when I have to constantly tend to your chores?
Will I become your complete world atleast in the initial years?
Will you be able to overcome all your fears
and just place all your trust in me?
Will I be able to give you a sound foundation?
Will I have the inner strength not to flee?
Will I be able to fulfill your expectations?
Will I still be able to fulfill mine?
Will I be able to make you shine?
Will I be able to protect you from the world?
Will I be able to make you into a good human being?
Will I be able to quench your thirst?
Will I set aside all and will you come first?
WIll I let go of myself and then be able to reclaim the self?
WIll I have all the patience to listen to you?
Will you also love me through and through? ?
As I sit and ponder over all the questions
And already know the answer
I will know only when you come in
All I will do is to give my best
Being a good parent is never learned in a book, it`s down to common sense, hard work and a lot of luck...10

The greatest gift you could ever give your daughter is your unconditional love. Everything else will then fall into place. Lovely poem. Warm regards, Sandra
