dear belly,

i see you

even though i don't want to see you

i know you're there

and i'm so thankful for you

on most days

you are visible

and i see you

without you

i could not eat

i could not walk

i could not sleep

i could not sit

i could not breathe

so thank you belly

i love you

even on days where i don't want to love you

i love you
