I recall the day, that I chose your name
The first time that you kicked, I never was the same

How could I be so blessed to have you in my womb
A great responsibility, I need to make more room.

For soon you will be coming, I can't believe its true
I'm not sure if I'm ready, I have so much to do

Baby shower gifts come one after another,
but nothing can prepare you for being a new mother.

I wrote you all these letters, I even bought you toys
People thought "a girl", I knew you were a boy.

And then the day it came, my water broke at 3
I packed your bag that evening, forgot the one for me

I had you without drugs, the pain I can't explain
Tried to get up out of bed, I completely went insane

The nurse told me to push, said not to be a coward
I started to at 8 am was done in half an hour.

I remember it so clearly, you didnt make a sound
you had a weird banana head, but now I'm glad its round

I held you close for hours, I didnt sleep for days
I felt so overjoyed..... I sang, I cried, I prayed.

I prayed that you'd be smart, funny, cool and tall,
I prayed that you would worship God and love him most of all
