Walking past,
People talking
Exciting chatter
Maternity leave is imminent
Not mine
Nappy cakes
Pink and blue balloons
Baby shower ready
Not mine
Got to get the house ready
The baby is coming
Not mine
Rub of the belly the baby is kicking
Not mine
A silent scan
A cold isolating room
A decision to make
That’s mine
Our house is ready
It’s 4 years ready
That’s mine
Leaving the hospital
Being held by my husband
Memory box in hand
That’s mine
The empty nursery
Moses basket with no baby
That’s mine
Engraved leaves
On a memory tree
That’s mine
A house full of visitors
All with well wishes
Cuddles and snuggles
Not mine
A handful of people know
Very supportive
Love hearts on texts
Hugs to both
That’s mine
Fast forward it’s their birthday
Cake and candles
Pile of presents
Not mine
3 candles lit
For our babies
On their due date
That’s mine
The hopes and dreams
That come with every positive result
That’s mine
Child starts school
Anxious excitement
Not mine
Brave face
Silent tears
That’s mine
Feeling anxious
Feeling guilty
That’s mine
The endless struggle
Longing to be parents
A supportive husband
We are in this together
Not giving up
That is ours.
