I carry you with me As I firmly plant my feet. Our trek started long ago, Before my belly swelled, You were a love that grew – Like butterfly wings that beat. Your gentle flutters then became Kicks upon which I would dwell. And I would talk to you, sweet babe, About the world you soon would meet. The sun always shone upon us then – When you were in my womb. And I was eager to show you the world That would have been your home. How you'd have loved the sun shining – Blue skies without a cloud. The autumn leaves turning The snow falling around. The flowers in the summer – Would have filled your eyes with smiles. And the rain that might have fallen Would have caused you great surprise. You would have traveled far with me – Holding me by the hand. And I'd have shown you all I could – More than I can imagine. You hold my HEART tightly now, As though we're holding hands. How far we've traveled, little one – And my life with you has been sweet. For I carry you in my heart As I firmly plant my feet.
