~*~Do You Hear me God?~*~

Not being able to have a child is something that has cut very deeply. Since I was a little girl, all I could think about was having many, many children. Last year, going through Infertility treatments was very difficult. I felt all was lost, and I felt as if I was robbing my husband of something very special.
We have come to grips with infertility, but Thank God we don't have to come to grips with not having children. My husband and I will be adopting a (couple of) children into our home. While we will still go through treatments for a little while longer, we don't have that fear of never becoming parents.

This was written during the time I was going through treatments in '99.

"Do you hear me God?"

I talk to God most every night,
And pray that I’ll be blest.
I try and try to no avail,
But I know he knows best.

I don’t think I want too much,
Just a child’s love.
To feel her grow inside of me,
Would be a gift from above.

Little socks and shoes to wear,
I’d dress you up each day.
In little ruffles, bows, and ties,
As long as you’re not a boy, ok?

For then I’d have to buy a truck,
A ram is that all right?
Then you’d be Daddy’s little boy,
Perfect in his sight.

To hear you cry at 2 am,
Would be a joy to me.
To smell the sweetness of your skin,
I’d treasure that, you see?

I have yet to see your precious face,
And hold you next to me.
Please dear God, give us the chance,
I’ll be a good mom, you’ll see.
