The baby-shower poem 'To My Unborn,composed by Rhonda O Jones, is in couplet form and shows the love of an expectant mother for her unborn son. Here, Rhonda envisions all things that her son would do in his early part of life. She says that she is waiting the day when she would be able to see him and watch his activities. She has already envisaged the look of her child and now awaits his cries and sounds. Rhonda feels movements of her unborn child inside her and knows that her son is alright. Becoming a mother is the greatest bliss for women. It's a symbol of womanhood and essential part of their life.
To My Unborn
To my unborn child, what I wish to give you in times to come,
Happiness, and wisdom, a life filled with fun,
To explore all adventures of your curious mind,
To become knowledgeable of what you'll find,
As I await your arrival and the presence of newborn cries,
I picture how you'll look when I open up my eyes.
I feel your movements every time I wake each day,
Letting mommy know that you’re okay,
Obstacles I hope you'll overcome,
Education I know you'll get done,
I stay up late reading to you, talking to my stomach,
A feeling I never knew, hungry all the time
'No doubt you're a son of mine',
You make me feel happy even when I'm sad,
Because the formation of another life makes me glad.
Proud of you I am,
I already know how you'll be,
A smart 'lil' man for mommy to see,
No worries from me a mom to be,
To a special baby boy I can't wait to see.
