A Never Ending Contraction

Location

A bundle of joy wrapped in a soft cotton blanket

She looks at you and with those big coffee brown eyes she...

smiles, one of those hesitant smile, not a full one, full of love, life and 100 you,

But a half, one full of love and peace.

Knowing she came from you, and you helped made this precious jewel.

What would you do?

Would you hold her in your arms and look up and say to God, thankyou?

Or would you get tired after the first few weeks of taking care of your child.

Would you leave her up to your parents care, or some babysitter, and go partying.

Wasting your daughters time trying to fulfill the mistake that you've made because, you couldn't keep your legs crossed.

Because apparently that little bundle of joy you made is now trying you out.

You fail to know that your little baby's priority come first. Not yours!

The child you carried for ninth months and made all the sacrifices for.

And your wiling to throw all that away because you are tired?

Really?

While somewhere in this world is a beautiful woman who wants that same bundle of joy.

That same happiness you felt in the beginning,

of course,

Before it all faded away.

Who will actually look up and say thank you God.

Who will not rest until she knows that her baby is well asleep and fed.

Who will never leave her baby to some babysitter, because she is tired of taking care of her child.

Who relize the responsibility, of motherhood is not to be taking as a joke or a job.

It is 100% LOVE.

No, but fate has block her womb.

Fate has caused a catastrophic pain in her heart that will never be enough to fill her up.

That will eat her up alive.

Like a parasite multipling inside the body.

That every single time she sees a baby wrapped in her mother's arm.

Her body will go into labor.

NO not pregnancy labor, but emotional labor.

Instead of 12 hours of pain and wanting her child to come out

She will be waiting forever knowing her child will never come out.

Her child will be stuck deep inside of her.

To small for doctors to notice.

Never growing.

No beginnings.

No endings.

Only the pain of knowing her child will never be able to grow inside of her.

That beautiful woman, one day sat by that same selfish girl.

She looks into the girls eyes

And she knows.

The girl says " You want to hold her"

The woman says " Hold her a little bit tighter cause you'll never know when you'll lose her"

The girl looks at her,

Frowns. Than

smiles.

The woman looks at her, than the baby.

And she realize.

That baby was meant for her.

Because when she looks in that baby's eyes

She sees herself.

Their souls connect.

The beautiful woman looks at the selfish girl

And....

Cries?

Why?

The girl understands.

The girl gave the woman a piece of paper than...

She ran.

Forgetting the most important thing in her life

Her baby girl.

The woman looks at the paper read it.

The note said,

"A wise woman once told me that sometimes when you really loves someone you let them go" 

She picked up the baby girl.

The contraptions are over.

Her child is born.

A bundle of joy wrapped in a soft cotton blanket

She looks at you and with those big coffee brown eyes she...

smiles, not one of those hesitant smile, but a real one, full of love, life and 100 you.

The beautiful woman who was empty is finally.........

Full.
