It's been a VERY long time since I've posted anything. I'm trying to get better at it. Lately I've been having a tough time trying to decide if I want to be a blogger or rather just keep my thoughts to myself in my own personal journal.
Until I figure it out, I'll try to get better at posting more often...
Anyways, as I was going through some of my old journals I came across this poem/letter that I started writing this when I was pregnant with Gabriela and finished it shortly after she was born.
It made me cry as I read through it again so I thought I'd share it.
I write this letter to my unborn child from the depths of my soul.
You've entered my womb and made my life complete and whole.
I never thought I would be chosen for such an amazing task!
It is a greater blessing than what I ever could ask!
I can almost imagine you in my mind, beautiful, happy, a smile so kind.
Feeling you flutter is a sensation like no other!
It is true happiness that sets deep inside of me.
You're my baby, my child, my heart, and my love.
I pray we create a bond that no one can break.
You're a designers' original! A creation from the King!
I can hardly wait for you to enter the world and see the joy you bring.
Sweet baby of mine, you're a magnificent gift from above.
Living proof of how your father and I have shared our love.
I wonder if you'll inherit my ability to plan.
With that you will be able to face all things in life as a strong woman.
I hope you receive from your father, his selfless ways.
For this the Heavenly Father will bless you, all of your days.
I hope you learn from me, and let no one take your beautiful spirit.
Believe me you will need it in life, and many will try to break it.
But with that spirit you must have your father's center.
With that you will be cautious of any door you enter.
I want you to have my curiosity. There's nothing wrong with questions!
But receive your fathers' discernment,
so you'll know when to let go before getting hurt.
Have my big heart; know what emotions are and how to be real.
Share my strength so you can handle what you feel.
Share my sense of humor! Laugh a lot it helps you through life.
I'm emotional so I tell you its okay to cry once and a while!
But learn to develop what your father has; an excellent sense of calm.
But most of all the things I wish for your father and I to share.
I wish we teach you to love, respect, strength of mind, and to care.
These are my feelings, wishes and hopes for you.
I welcome you to the world and thank you for the joy,
my little princess, my love, my life, my gift from our Heavenly Father.
