The tear I shed
You will never see
But it is for you
For you and me.

I wish to see
Your little smile
To hold your hand
Just for awhile.

I want to hold you
In my arms
To caress your head
Know all the charms.

I long to be with
My little one
I want to be whole
I don’t want to run.

I need to feel
Like I am complete
I don’t want to feel
Like I need to compete.

I am a good person
I do everything right
There has to be
An end in sight.

To the trials my body
Has put me through
That means that I
Have to wait to meet you.

But it will happen
I know it will
And my want for a child
My life will fulfill.

I will remain strong
I won’t give up hope
My friends and my family
By my side I will cope.

Life isn’t fair
And it never will be
But I won’t give up hope.
You wait and see.

Because I am a good person.
I’ve been put to the test
But I will stay strong
And shut out the rest.

The negativity and hurt
That I have gone through
It will all be worth it one day
When I meet you.
