I'm sitting here
On my nest
More accurately
On my eggs
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
My eggs will grow
Life develops
I'm keeping them safe
Love envelops
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
I'm giving my all
I always will
I'm now a mum
Sitting her still
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
Can't wait to hold them
In my arms
These kids of mine
I'll keep from harm
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving

Ahhh...the beauty of the wait.......
Love this.....
praying, waiting, sitting, loving.
and so hope in keeping them from harm... can't help but think of the CT tragedy.
This doll does contain a sense of waiting for birth.
I like the progression of time of a Mom!

Very sweet and heartfelt. I love the repeated section.
That is how I saw this doll, too. Loved this poem of loving and waiting.
