My Unborn Child

My Unborn Child

To my dearest Baby Ridgley

Whom I may never get to see

They tell me that your heart beat's too slow

God, please tell me how this can be

Will you be able to hold on

So I can cradle you in my arms

I wonder if you would have my hazel eyes

And your daddy's southern charms

Maybe you'll get your sister's strong will to lead

And your brother's loving heart

Or maybe you'll get your grandma's caring soul

And all of our love for art

But no matter what is meant to be 

I just want you to know

I understand if you can't hold on

And you feel you have to let go

You will always be in my heart

It is a mothers vow

And when my time comes we'll meet in heaven 

Or maybe nine months from now
