Just to be a Mum
I woke up this morning and discovered that my period has started
That means my dreams for a new born baby has just been postponed
How many days turned into weeks, months and now years?
As I long to feel something move in my womb?
For how long do I have to wait?
For how long do I endure this agony?
For how long would I be tortured?
For how long would I have to bear all these?
One doctorโs appointment after another
With assurance that Iโm fit to deliver
And yet nothing but disappointment
And left to deal with an empty womb
Iโd give anything in the world just to hear โMum I love youโ
Oh! How my heart aches to feel those tender lips
Those tiny hands holding on to me
To experience the joy of motherhood
Oh! How I dread Motherโs day!
Those flowers and hugs women ย receive for being mothers
I hide behind a smile with a lovely faรงade but broken inside
And long to be one of those women, to be a mum
Iโm left with a very deep scar
And my heart is so broken
These can only be cured by the cry of my baby
By holding and nursing my baby
I cling to hope because I know God has not forgotten me
He would surely bless me and ย give me a baby one day
A child I wish for, dreamt of and prayed for with all my being
One I promise to love with all my heart and strength
All I wish for with all my soul is a chance to be a mum!

kids are a beautiful gift and I wish for you many! sad write!
Thanks a million Sweet Poetess...this is what a lot of women go through. All they ever crave for is to have children. It breaks my heart each time I meet such women and always pray for God to grant them their heart desires. Thanks for reading and your comment.
Lots of love.....
Hello Sweet Rose...
Some women struggle so much with this...
Then there's the ones who can have themย with no struggles at allย and shouldn't...
Maybe, ย if was just easy for everyone...
How much more that could be taken for granted?
Those that struggle and would make good parents on the outside...
Then there are those who would do their best to be good parents...
We should see them as a teacher...
We could learn a lot from each other...
However, sadness to that extreme builds theย wall...
Great write!ย
Thank you for sharing...
Love, hugs and smiles

Hey Sweet Sparrowsong.....yeah we have those who don't deserve to be mothersย and yet the are. Like drug addicts who can't even take care of them or teenagers who are not even ready to be. I just wish those who deserve to be mothers should be and those who don't shouldn't (sounds absurd). Thanks for your read and commenting. Means so much to me.
Hugs....lots of love
Hey dear shining ROSE!!....... the honesty of this piece is SO profoundly moving....... just the fact that you wrote this for the whole "world to see" ~ย takes the VERY kind of strength that so many poets desire in their deepest wishes for their goals for writing....my sister went through this & the Doctors kept giving her hope and it never came to fruition....... now (in her forties) she wishes she had adopted....... but there's something about the strength within your words here that make me believe personally........ that the stork has heard your longing (smiles)....... and that the power of your prayers are more powerful than you can imagine (scientifically speaking)....... an absolutely BEAUTIFUL write!!........ALL STARS ~ PINNED........ it's aย truly compellingย thing when the poets heart is laid bare!!......... Hugs-n-Smiles........ your cyber-friend and admirer........T xo
Wow!!...Tony...your comment just made me speechless. Thanks so much for the read, comment, stars and pin. I'm more than inspired!
Hugs....lots of love
Hi Rose. Such powerful sadness. I think all women can relate to this. I know that I have spent a lot of time thinking about motherhood, how it is our legacy to be moms. It comes so easily to some, and yet not to others, and still... It defines us in some way doesn't it. It is almost expected and anticipated from the time we are small to BE mothers. Then there is the instinct in us to nurture, to love, to help something grow... This really touched me. Thank you for touching on a subject that speaks for all Women.ย
Blessings, Rebecca
Hey Rebecca.... and because it is anticipated, you see the look of disappointment of people's faces if after a while you don't become a mom. ย And you too feel like a failure. Thanks so much for taking out time to read and comment. I appreciate.ย
Lots of love
My little Rose,
Although I was very lucky and I have been blessed with six children it was a very difficult journey having to endure six heartbreaking miscarriages in between and other complications and I was convinced that I would never have a baby at that point. But I would go through it all over again if I had to because my children are the most precious part of my life. I totally understand the pain you express so beautifully in this piece sweetie and I`m here for you if you need someone to talk to about it. A specialist doctor once told me that stress and tension often interfere with fertility and though it`s hard to put it into practice when you are so upset, relaxation therapy and meditation can help to calm you. He told me to try and stop thinking constantly about getting pregnant and just relax and try and get on with your life and if it`s meant to be, it will eventually happen! I thought he was a nutcase at the time but I followed his instructions because I was desperate to be a mum and I was lucky that something must have worked because I found that I was expecting my eldest daughter Georgina seven months after taking relaxation and meditation classes. Well done for this heart wrenching but beautiful piece sweetie and like I said before if you need a shoulder, I`m here for you.
Love G xx
Awww!!!....To mother six is a favour and blessing from God. Thanks for sharing your experience it's encouraging. I know you'd always being there. Trust I can always count on you.
Lots of love.....your little Rose
