A swelling of expectation
fighting fear with anticipation
A limbo zone, "no man's land" between the present and the future,
With ideas and ideals of motherhood still embryonic
I await for my blind date
a room awaits him
festooned with hopes and prayers
Change is never easy
to accept with aplomb
A real grieving, letting go, surrendering
A longing to slow down the hands of time
A impulse to press the fast-forward
The contrasts that live in my heart
My mind a jumble
My body hungry for sleep
But pregnant with a palatial elation for the meet cute
Renewal
of heart, mind, body and soul
of what life has meant,
of what life will be,
of dreams and visions
through new eyes
that will capture my heart
Renewal
of ideas and ideal of love
A father's heart
