I closed my eyes and prayed,
I threw a shiny penny,
into a well each day.
The same little wish was wished,
upon my birthday cake
I asked the Lord... Please hurry,
just for Heaven's sake!
I was trying to be patient,
but I had waited long enough
my wishing well with pennies,
was now completely stuffed!
I would start and end my days
repeating the same prayer,
I knew that up in Heaven,
they could see I really cared.
Just when I thought I couldn't
bear another day, it is then that
I learned you were on your way.
All the prayers and wishes,
finally did come true.
The blessing God gave me
was my pregnancy with you!
I tear up when I see this photo because I know exactly what I had wished for.... wishing so hard that I'm even "praying" with my hands as I blow out the candles. The only thing I wanted in the whole world was to be pregnant before my next birthday. "Please, Lord, let this be the last year we try.... please."
