Dit gedichtje schreef ik voor Eliana toen ze nog in mijn buik zat, voordat ik wist of ze een jongetje of meisje was.

Letter to my unborn child

My precious one
I don’t yet know your name
Nor what you look like
I haven’t looked into your sweet little eyes
Nor have I heard you laugh

I don’t even know your gender yet
The colour of your eyes or hair
If you will be short or tall
Or what your favourite food will be

I don’t know all the things you will accomplish in this life
What your hopes and dreams will be
Don’t know what your talents are
All the places you will go to

But the Lord knows everything about you
He knew you before He gave you to me
And He knew you are exactly what I need
All I know is that I love you with every fibre of my heart
and I can’t wait for the day you are born
