I wrote the song for myself in a moment of sadness that helped me turn that sadness into strength, and for anyone else who has experienced anything close with this subject of fertility issues. It's a personal unique journey. My love prayers and thoughts are with everyone and anyone who relates in their own way," concluded Jessie.
