I invite you to add a verse or a thought! Add a stanza or a line. Make a change (PLEASE! Right now it's sort of a jumble...). We will write this poem about wanting a child together, and I will update the text as your comments are added and synthesized.
A Space Beside Me
A reserved seat, a space awaits
Breath comes from deep wishes
and miles of thoughts, doubts and dreams
Another heart beating, chest falling
Another supreme, beautiful worry
A space awaits the love my life
does not yet know
My thoughts build a home inside
Belly hugging, holding, wanting
Tender breasts and longing feed
Self-cast maternity
I'd buy a shirt to make it so
A crib, a bib, a diaper bag
Hedging bets to borrow
A hole, a space, a dream replace
what's made long and painful safe
With new and tiny, warmth and mine
Joy and fear fold origami treasures
Each moment thanked for eager
gifts in what wishes
holds tomorrow

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
wow chelle, i'm impressed. that's really beautiful. i'm afraid i'd butcher it if i tried to add anything to it. i'm pretty much only good for making up songs for special occasions sung to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies or Hello Muddah...not much finesse in that. you're very creative!
