A Soul

The cold mechanical box beside me Amplifies your heart beat A Rhythmic dance to life Through crystalline lenses, I saw your image For the first time, an excellent preview of our future Tears meandered silently across my chiselled cheeks Together we embraced in the thought The prospect of your creation Life’s potential cocooned within the womb Nestled within the warmth of your mother Life had embarked on a journey that would see the A twisted tail of events and fate That at conception would have been prophesized A sensation of fear moved through my body As I knew that I would have to hold and protect you Until the day that I die Where does one gain the strength to hold your hand I love you, and only wanted to know you Thank You God for this wonderful gift I hope to make you proud of me.
