Guessing Game

Whats this burning need to know
what is to come later but right now
the gender of my baby in my womb
through a hundred old wives tales I comb
I caress my belly by calling out names
judging the response hard and lame
I think the gentle nudge for a girl
but definitely boy for the resounding hurl
I finally hope, pray and think it's best
to leave the result to time's ultimate test!

Cannot believe its three plus years since I blogged a poem. Obviously much has happened since :-) A small musing over the pleasant memory of spending many lovely afternoons at my parent's house, marveling at the wonder inside my tummy, hoping it's a girl, but never too sure. :-)
