Isabel Grace

I wrote this after the 12 week scan predicted we were having a girl.

Last night I had dream.
It was all about you.
It seemed so real.
I’d like to tell you how I feel.

Parallel lines revealed your existence.
And melted my resistance.
I’d been waiting for so long.
I thought the dream had long since gone.
But I was wrong.

So with eager anticipation.
I could see your growing formation.
And with exquisite delight.
I could see the end was in sight.
Light up my life.

It’s amazing. Grace.

Now I’m longing to see your face.
And baby, I’ll be amazed.
by your sweet embrace.

Oh Grace. Longing to see
Your arms and your legs
And your tiny little hands
And your toes. (repeat)

So these words are dedicated to my unborn child.
What will you be?
So many possibilities.

A black & white image confirmed your existence.
Melted my resistance.
I’d be waiting for so long.
I thought the dream had long since gone.

Daddy was wrong.

Your amazing Grace.

Now I’m longing to see your face.
And baby, I’ll be amazed
by your sweet embrace.

Oh Grace
Longing to see

Your arms and your legs
And your tiny little hands
And your toes.

Repeat.
