Waiting for My Second Child

 

Sitting on my feet too long makes my feet fall asleep

I have waited so long for my second child that I feel my soul has fallen asleep

Maybe it’s my heart

Or my brain

I may never have a second child

One was coming

But never arrived

The last time I saw my second child was only in my mind

I am grateful that his mother changed her mind before

I introduced him in person to my first child as her little brother

I pray that my waiting for my second child

        doesn’t ever tell my first child

                that she isn’t enough
