i never thought the thoughts were untrue
until i realized it didn't all add up
i had a hunch it wasn't right
but it took some time before that meant something
the thoughts quickly became a comfort
i never thought there was a problem
i assumed everyone else just thought the same
i assumed that there wasn't any problem
not if i kept things secure and safe
the lies not only took away from the truth
and took away from the person i was made to be
i thought it didn't matter much
but the truth, the truth kept coming back
like a beach ball pushed deep down underwater
there was only so much i could do to hide it
the truth of my passion kept popping back up into sight
that i was made to follow the dreams i was given
and no longer hide underwater

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
