My baby,
Child,
Offspring,
And future piece of me.
I want you to know
That you will always mean something to me.
It may look like I don't love you,
But
You will understand, when you have children of your own.
If you are a girl,
I will try to keep you from heartbreak,
And have your father will be your protector.
If you are a boy,
I will let you be you,
And kiss your boo boos when you scrape a knee or two.
Either way
My future child
Will know what love is before
I say goodbye to mortality
And hello to immortality.
