Heart beats

So I started writing this after I had Keira and decided to finish it today. It thought it would share it because I know there are many mothers who can relate to the emotion of this poem. 

Heart Beats

Her heart beats quick, 

She prays it's right. 

Her whole life, 

Has changed tonight. 

Two pink lines 

adorn the stick, 

And wonders if God

Is playing another trick. 

She walks in the door, 

That she once left broken-hearted, 

To know if is true, 

"Please God, be a heart beat." 

One-hundred thirty six, 

This time it is perfect. 

One little soul, 

Who makes her life worth it. 

A couple months down 

Today she is hurried, 

She walks through the door, 

Excited but worried. 

Two arms, two hands, 

Two legs and two feet, 

A sweet little face, 

And a quick little heart beat. 

Her life changed forever, 

Her head swirling with pink, 

All the plans she is making 

She can't even think. 

A best friend to be,

Her little world, 

She can't wait to be a mother,

To this little girl. 

Fast-forward several months, 

They think it is starting. 

This moment they have waited for, 

To meet their little darling. 

Twenty plus hours, 

Her confidence shaken, 

She doesn't understand, 

Her body's not taking. 

Another day of waiting, 

She is almost here, 

"What will she be like..." 

Then the doctor appears.

One-two-three,

She's trying so hard.

She will be here in moments, 

This will be the best part. 

She leans down and kisses, 

The little pink chest, 

As she thanks God, 

She knows she is blessed. 

Two arms, two hands, 

Two legs and two feet, 

A sweet little face, 

And a quick little heart beat. 

One hundred thirty, 

It's still just as perfect, 

Looking down at her baby, 

And thankful for that heart beat. 

A piece of her heart, 

Now beating outside her body, 

So proud of her daughter, 

And so proud to be her mommy.
