Goodbye For Now

For nine months I have carried you,
Right next to my heart,
But now the time has come,
For us to have to part.
No more little kicks,
No more feeling you within,
No more will things be,
The way that they have been.
For a moment I will hold you,
I will look into your eyes,
But then in the next moment,
I will choke through my goodbyes.
Please don't ever think,
I don't wish that you could stay,
You may not understand,
But this is the only way.
The only way to make sure,
That everything goes right,
That you get all you deserve,
The very most in life.
I love you, Joshua,
And know I always will,
I've held you by my heart,
Where I forever hold you still.
