If time has elasticity br then stretch it across my love's heart br in the dead of night br make it stop as we try br to make our baby. br br Now three years of trying. br br Make it stop my aging. br br Grant me the time; br br reverse the ticking clock br inside my womb. br br I want this baby. br br I cannot be the barren woman. br br Take this ticking clock br and silence it. br br Translate br my husband's love into br baby bouncing br free. br br Let me hear br baby's cry. br br He said br br 'We could always adopt.' br br And I said br 'I guess we could br but it wouldn't be the same.' br br So strong is baby love br so strong this longing br I'll not sleep again this night: br br tiny hands br br tiny face br br in my dreams; br br reaching out. br br I have this baby love br yearning for my own br tiny hands and arms br reaching out to me.
