Baby

His fingers tremble As he holds the scan A shadow image In an inky cloud “See there’s a backbone” Though just a smudge You have begun To live your life Full of promise Unaware You lie curled Not knowing You’ve changed The world Now

First I must comment on the flow and contents - wonderful! Your message is clear and so easily understood through a terrific use of imagery and flow. Now, the 1st line second verse needs one more syllable, how about "Though just a smudge"? Otherwise a fantastic read. Michael
