[for] Soon To Be J.Marie Poem by Tia Lopez

As I lie my mind reches into the warm waters of my imagination
and dwells on my own creation
this subtle force of life that has yet to opens it eyes
that posses delicate hands and tiny feet
this amazing angel that I am anxious to meet...
but when my eyes flutter open
my thoughts begin to wake
cold reality and fear settles in its place
afraid I will fall just short of perfection
and the world will lead my angel in the wrong direction
down dark alleyways and desperate streets
curios to know if her daddy says what he means
So I close my eyes and pray to God
that he may guide her day and night
be by her side when she’s not in my sight
If i had any wish It would simply be that she grows up right
and not fall into the faults and cracks of those before her
and instead to take advantage of what God has in store for her.....


The moon rises and I begin to fall back asleep
but this time with the comfort of knowing that my own little prodigy
lives inside me
