Look into the eyes of your newborn child
Cradling his body in your arms
So fragile, dependent, you're brimming with love
Delicate hands, curled in your palms
Watch him grow, take his first steps
The spit of you in toddler years
Watch him bloom to adulthood
Shedding all his childish fears
Now imagine those joyful years
Had never come to be
That you had never loved this child
His life you'd never see
This child you'd give your life to have
You wanted desperately
But you were dealt the lonely card
Of infertility.
