I know
The dreams have come crashing for you
You have always said
The four wall were too small for you
There was a promotion on cards
A possible US trip too.
I know
Yet
You have chosen to leave
The job you have most desired
To bear our child and rear her too.
I know
It’s another four months of patient bearing
Pampering, advice and ‘goodwill hearing’
In lonely moments, you would think
Is it worth all this suffering?
I know
Yet
In all those moments that you would cry
You would give a hug and steal a smile
You would rebuild dreams and remake plans
Our baby would be our world, you would declare
I know
It wasn’t easy for you to decide
Nor any easier to walk on this road
I promise, MV, every second, every moment
I will stand beside you - forever
