Poem of Hope

I stumbled across this poem today and while reading it, my eyes welled up and my heart swelled.  I've been so blessed to have been part of making my former Intend Parent's dreams come true and I cherish that we have stayed close and continue to share a relationship.  My hope is that this journey will end with the same feelings of love and friendship.  Being just weeks away from our next transfer, our anticipation escalates ... praying this will be the one.

A Surrogate Mother’s Poem of Hope

By Christa Lynch, 3 time gestational surrogate mother

Let me bring you peace and joy

Be this baby girl or boy

Your dream to sing sweet lullaby

Your precious babies healthy cry

Let me help you see the day

A child’s love takes your breath away

Reaching milestones like they do

Seeing the world through eyes so new

You’ve tried so hard, your journey long

My heart for service, my body strong

When your faith in miracles is feeling weak

I am that angel that you seek

Restoring hope inside of you

That wishes really do come true

As your baby develops and grows

Dissolving sorrows and healing your woes

Whose blessing is greater, we cannot be sure

We each had trials we had to endure

Replacing sadness with thanks and praise

A humble appreciation for those hard days

For once your baby is finally here

Your thoughts of me will always be dear

Whether time or distance should send us apart

You and your child will remain in my heart

A surrogate mother will always be

A cherished branch in your family tree
