I want...
To feel a life growing inside me.
To bear a child to carry on my legacy.
To hold that child close to me as I sing a lullaby.
I want...
To hear the soft cries of a baby in my home.
To be the one to silence there tears.
To hold there hands as she takes there first step.
I want...
To not be pitied.
To not dread Mothers' Day.
My arms to not ache when I hold someone else's baby.
I want...
People to not assume that this is a choice.
People to stop asking me "What are you waiting for?"
To not cry when I hear that question, yet again.
Most of all, I really want...
To hear a child call me mommy.
