Heartbeat


When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
I've been aware since conception.
I'm alive. I'm here.
I won't remember when I join you in your air,
but right now, I am here.

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
You don't know of me yet.
I swim. I kick. I play.
Maybe you'll feel it today.
I'm here with you. I won't go away.

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
I'm a child of love, or so you tell me.
Together we'll grow into a happy family.
Two cats, a dog, a house with a great big tree.
Have you told daddy about me?

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
Have you decided yet on my name?
A fine name like Johnny or Charlie or Butch.
Or you could name me after my father,
unless that would hurt too much.

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
Not yet, not for some time yet.
At the doctor's office you heard my heart.
Why are you crying momma?
It's for you that it beats.

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
We see the doctor again today.

When will I be born mama? Not yet. Not yet.
Not
