RESTED ON YOUR CHEST

© RYAN GUILEY

Transformation into a connection,
As your body changes to make perfection,
As, you feel a closeness like no other,
Your pregnancies brought life becoming a mother.

Blood tests to confirm, the positive news,
Letting everyone know, receiving happy views,
A new sense of feeling, that will bring joy,
With ultrasounds to determine if it’s a girl or boy.

The release of estrogen with many hormones,
A sensation like no other in your bones,
Not exactly knowing what happens next,
With each trimester giving your body respect.

Healthy eating, vitamins, and a great desire,
As some people have no clue of what’s require,
But it takes a lot of energy to this new change,
New emotions unexpected that could be strange.

Like putting pickles on top of your ice cream,
Or imagining our babies will one day dream,
To be an inspiration that will make us proud,
As you touch your baby bump and speak out loud.

Then a name was chosen, as it is personalized,
With maternity clothes feeling like your oversized,
But more beauty came from each pregnancy stage,
Supporting our family working hard, earning a wage.

Woman are powerful and are a driving force,
Without females, it would be an incomplete course,
Denise, your special who I love like crazy,
Thank you for creating life with our babies.

An instant bond, cutting the umbilical cord,
Providing protection and strength like a sword,
As each child rested on your chest, feeling our love,
Dressing them with a yarn knitted hat and gloves.

Denise, thank you as I will never exactly know,
What giving birth is like, but although,
I know who we created, Nolan, Dylan, and Ciara,
Who will find true love like us in their era.
