Two Pink Lines

I hold my breath and count to five 
Who knew three minutes could feel like such a long time 
Month after month I wait for it to come true 
Time passes so slowly while we wait for you 
I’ve yearned my whole life to hold you in my arms 
I promise to always protect you from all harm 
This journey has had many ups and downs 
Time to look at the test now… 
With tears filling my eyes 
I look down and see two pink lines
