The faintest of sensations
Picked up by my fingers
You move inside your mother
My hand rests a while and lingers
I speak softly, can you hear me
My voice between two worlds
With another little flutter
All my emotions start to swirl
I fear that you’ll be poorly
I hope you’ll look alike
I’m sad you’ll never meet each other
That keeps me awake at night
My duty as protector
Has returned back to before
And with Ivy watching over us
Our love grows to so much more
Ivy’s soon to be your big sister
As I long to bring you both together
You’ll each be wrapped inside my love
From now until forever
The flutter of a butterfly
Let’s me know that Ivy’s close
When I say the words ‘I love you’
I say it to you both
I felt each of you start moving
Before you came to be with us
I saw the flutter of your heartbeats
And the stick turn to a plus
And though I don’t yet know you
Whether you’re a girl or boy
I know one thing for certain
Just like Ivy, you’ll bring joy
