Our Story

Love Is Like A River

Flows Hard And Deep And Strong

Makes Us See So Clearly

Why All The Others Were So Wrong

You Keep Moving Forward

With No Chance To Turn Around

The Flow Will Overcome You

Your Contentment Has Been Found

And When Its Moving Slowly

A Chance To Catch Your Breath

You've Found the One Your Heart Desires

To Be With Until Death

You "Try" For Fun And Wait

Every Month You Pee Then Pray

Maybe This Time A Positive

Could Today Be The Day?

You Realize After Months

Something May Be Wrong

But, "You're Too Young To Worry"

I'm Sure It Won't Be Long

You Wait A Little Longer

Still No Hope In Sight

You Start To Think, "What's Wrong With Me?"

Something Can't Be Right

They Question You And Test You

Til You Have No More To Give

You Wonder If It's All Your Fault

And If Your Spouse Will Forgive

You Go Through All The Motions

Until The Answer's Clear

Your Fear Of Needing IVF

Are The Exact Words That You Hear

Surgeries And Needles

Are Your Normal Day To Day

And Everyone's Always Asking You

"When's Your Baby On The Way?"

You Answer With A Smile

You Say Our Time Will Come

A Subject You Used To Love

You Now Avoid And Stay Far From

The First Cycle Worked

Two Lines On That Glorious Stick

After Two Long Years

A Baby Name We Will Finally Pick

Our Dreams Are Tragically Ended

An Unwelcomed Guest "Aunt Flow"

 The Heart Ache That We Feel

Is One We Wished We'd Never Know

The Pain I Feel In My Heart

Hurts To My Inner Core

I'd Give Anything For A Baby Now

Let's Go For It Once More

Another Positive Test!

This Seems Too Good To Be True

Again Aunt Flow Comes 8 Weeks In

A Pain I'd Share With Few

Again Our Baby's Taken

Why Us?  Why Again?  Not Fair!

People Tell Us To Have Patience

But All We're Left With Is Despair

A Break From This Is What We Need

Lets Travel And Have A Drink

And Yes A Blast Is What We Had

But Couldn't Help Think, "Blue or Pink"

People Told Us Just Relax

It Will Happen In Due Time

Oh, Our Medical Issues Will Disappear?

Their Advice Wasn't Worth My Time

Though Their Ignorance Was Tough To Bare

Most Meant Well With What They Said

For Soon Another Cycles Here

So For Now I Will Rest My Head

Cycle Three, Here It Is

Let Start The Meds And Shots

Let Pray For A Baby This Time

Before My Uterus Rots

This Cycle Failed

I Knew It From The Start

God Can You Hear Me??

All I Hear Is My Breaking Heart

The Tears Won't Stop Streaming

It's Like God Doesn't Hear My Prayer

Can Anybody Hear Us?!

Life With No Baby Is Our Fear

I'm Coming To My Breaking Point

How Much More Can My Body Take

Will This Ever Work For Me?

Or Is A Baby Something I Can't Make

I'll Give It One More Try For Now

But With My Expectations Low

If This One Doesn't Work

There'll Be More Wines I'll Get To Know

We Wait And Wait Then Finally

Two Lines Are On That Stick

Praying New Meds And Acupuncture

Are What Do The Trick

Palms Are Sweaty, The Ride's So Long

Will A Heartbeat Be There?

Or Will The Sound Of Silence

Be The Only Thing We Hear?

The Sound Came Out Clear As Day

It Was The Most Beautiful Sound I've Heard

Eyes Tearing Up, Hands Held So Tight

We Celebrated Without A Word

Here We Are Twenty Weeks Along

I Can't Believe We've Made It This Far

It's Been All Good News This Time Around

No Mourning At The Bar

Boy Or Girl We Do Not Know

Nor Do We Have A Care

As Long As Baby's Healthy And Happy

This Amazing Life With Them We'll Share

Can't Wait For The Day When I See Their Face

Staring Back Up At Mine

How Far We've Come From When All We Wanted

Was A Second Little Pink Line
