I hope that it will be<\/p>\n
The best day of your life.<\/p>\n
That I prepare the best I can,<\/p>\n
Though I don’t always get it right.<\/p>\n
That I will strive to do all I need to do,<\/p>\n
To shape a better world for you,<\/p>\n
One with peace, joy, balance, and safety from harm,<\/p>\n
Where you can always be wrapped in my warm, loving arms.<\/p>\n
I worry for your life every single day,<\/p>\n
I think about you in my choices, from what I eat, where I sleep, to how I abstain,<\/p>\n
To whom I pray.<\/p>\n
May God bless everything I do because of you,<\/p>\n
Even though you are yet conceived, one day you will be an extension of me.<\/p>\n
My beautiful unborn dream child,<\/p>\n
Someday I will see your smile,<\/p>\n
And I will witness the glory of your growth,<\/p>\n
And I will always be proud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
