The swell of your belly
that houses your shared dreams,
the sparkle in your eye
hides the pain, and makes you beam.

Tiny footsteps slowly stroll
towards your warm embrace,
the reassuring kick pushes through,
making your heartbeat race.

The wait is the pleasure,
the patience a bane,
your life has already changed,
while you await the rainbow after the rain.

In the final leg of
this journey of a lifetime,
I wish you love, happiness and fortune
that propels you three to cloud nine.
