Expecting!!

Now I believe I understand something of this facet of love
The joy it gives me makes me forgive even those who caused me the deepest hurt
My heart has let down its defense and it has been singing ever since it was touched,
Touched by this facet of love.

I am blessed to share in this blessing!
Here I am not an intruder, I am so wanted that I am humbled
My heart has softened, my disposition has altered
I am gentler, like a mother should be.

Yea, I am gonna be a mother!
Mother to my friend's own baby!
She's a sister I never had, a friend closer than my own right hand,
My "twin", my partner in virtues as well as in crime!

That she shares her joy with me,that she wants me close....
I can't help but feel different...I am changed....
I feel like I am expecting myself!
I have begun thinking so much for the baby....

Soon we'll be holding the sweet little bundle in our arms
Soon I shall know a baby so close....closer than any other I have known...
I know I will never be the same again
This anticipated joy has seeped into me.
