Will You?

Will you ever take form inside me?

that rush of blood, that moment

when the sperm collides

and fuses into my egg

and gives birth to you

will you let me have that moment?

Will you implant yourself

in my womb and grow

and with you allow me to grow

in mind and in body?

Will you show me yourself

on that ultra sound machine?

Or kick me

in the middle of the night?

Will you try to arrive

normally, on time?

Or owing to my age you would

want to cut open my tummy

to reach out for your mummy?

Will you look like me?

have my curly hair

and big eyes too?

Will you have my attitude

or my attributes?

Will you be my cause and effect?

or be ready to become

the sole purpose of my existence?

Will you give me my Sunday to live for?

Will you come into me,

into my soul, my life,

someday?

Will you carry forward

my genes, what I got,

or my destiny, what I made

into the next world?

Will you?

Tell me little one will you

come into me,

into my soul, my life,

someday?
