Did you ever think, dear Mother,
As the seeds of me you sowed,
As you breathed new life inside of me
And slowly watched me grow,
In all your dreams about me
When you planned me out so well,
When you couldn't wait to have me there
Inside your heart to dwell,
Did you ever think that maybe,
I was planning for you, too,
And choosing for my very own
A mother just like you?
A mother who smelled sweet and who
had hands so creamy white,
A tender, loving creature
Who would soothe me in the night?
Did you ever think in all those days
While you were coming due,
That as you planned a life for me
I sought a life with you?
And now as I lay in your arms,
I wonder if you knew
While you were busy making me,
I was choosing you!

mom and dad read this from Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother's Soul (thanks tia tere for lending mom this book :D), and she instantly cried... not sure if it's just the hormones. but it seems that she was sooo touched with colleen's poem.
mom, this poem is for you and dad. everything that colleen said is true. they are the same words that i want to tell both of you... along with my Creator, I chose you to be my parents and I fully entrust my life to you. thank you for loving me.
