My one dream

Since I was little I’ve had a dream

My dream has changed but it’s still the same theme

As I was an only child

My dream was totally beguiled

I wanted seven children, that was my dream

But not all at once, that would make me scream!

As my wedding day came

I only had one aim

To make my first baby

Even this month? maybe?

But the months went by

All I did was cry

The months turned into years

And there were no cheers

A fertility doctor was needed

My dream had to be receded

There was a problem so big

It really made me feel as sick as a pig

My dream came crashing down

My dream was empty like a ghost town

My children had gone from seven to zero

My husband is still and always will be my hero

How would I cope being childless?

I didn’t like it much I must confess

I handed my life over to a higher power

I was like a delicate flower

I needed help and support

All my dreams were thwart

We are drifting in the stream of the world

My life was all twisted and twirled

The pain was oh so bitter

But I’m not a quitter

Six years later I am proud to proclaim

A mummy I became

My daughter I love with all my heart

She is so beautiful and smart

She is growing up fast

Many years have now passed

And I am still looking for my missing little ones

All my daughters and my sons

Nature is very cruel and heartless

But now the end is here and causes distress

No more children for me

This is the new decree

The pain is unbearable

I think my heart is not repairable

But destiny had another plan

This is where it all began

I have a beautiful daughter who I bore

Who I absolutely adore

And four children living in heaven

Only two more to make my seven

I thought my dream would never be complete

And my heart missed a beat

Until one day

Just after May

My life was changed by a boy

Who brought me pure joy

I feel in love with him straight away

It was instant on that day

My heart leapt with joy

For that beautiful little boy

My dream was nearly there

My love for my children I must declare

My soon to be son came as a pair

At first I wasn’t aware

He has a sister, now that makes seven

Surely I must have died and gone to heaven

All my dreams have come true

It was well overdue

One day soon I will foster these two

Together we will spend my whole life through

I look up at the dark sky at night

With all my might

I thank the stars above

For sending me all this love

Thank you for sharing this personal account for us to read. Emotionally sad at the start, but gradually the sun came seemed to come out as your dreams indeed come true. I could feel the love you have for your little "brood" at the end and I'm happy that you are finally complete. Beautiful write and thank you for submitting this to my contest and "keeping the dream alive!" ~ Helena
