Blind Date
I wrote the below piece whilst I was heavily pregnant and dying with curiosity about the little being I carried within. That was back in 2008. I came across it today (27/03/02013) etched on a rough piece of paper and stacked in between piles of paper cleared from old house.   Blind Date   I wonder what you look like  What colour your eyes are  The shape of your mouth  Your smile...mine or his   I can't wait to see your beautiful dimples  your lovely thick hair  I can't wait to hold you close to me  And rub your face against mine  It will be a moment I will cherish foreever   I can't wait to hear the sound of your voice  And the sound of your laughter  I can't wait to see your eyes twinkle with glee or mischief   One day you will crawl  Then you will walk  And then you will run  But I know you will always be close to my heart  You are the love of my life.    ------   Dedicated to Levi Kamau Kipkorir Choge
