Artificial Conception

For years I dreamt of your conception
Choosing at last to do it on my own
Then like a hopeful mother to be
Who takes the route of invetero over
The traditional... I
Chose every feature from the catalog I was given
I made sure you got the best so your chances were immense
For months I dreamt of how it would be
As I prepared for you and got your accessories
And all of the toys
Some custom made just for you
I read books galore to learn what to do
I priced furniture and set up you very own room
For days I waited anxiously for your arrival
Knowing that things might not run smoothly but that didn’t matter
I set up the space
Call up friends as back up
Waking up late at night prowling my home
Checking your room to ensure it was ready for your arrival
For hours I slaved away
The pains not registering
The result my only focus
Nearly broke down in tears a time or two
When it seemed like maybe my dream might not come true
I hoped that it would all be over soon and there you’d be
Ready for me to feed you and develop you into something supreme
Now you’re here and we’re almost inseparable
You’re my baby, my creation, my legacy so to speak
I dreamt you, I planned you, I made you unique
I can never teach you too much
You absorb all I can give and
Already your memory is far superior to mine
Thank goodness I
Spent so much money for that larger hard drive
Gosh, I love my computer
