A Mother's Fear
I drink in her fresh powdery scent
Scent peculiar only to a baby
Baby cuddles up to me with trust
Trust in eyes that stare back adoringly
Adoringly I smile back with joy
Joy almost bursting seams of my heart
Heart now nudged by fingers of fear
Fear of twisted devils and degenerates
Degenerates who prey on innocence
Innocence in my angel, I'll protect
Protect with hawk eyes against suspects
Suspects to peck at like a Mother Hen
Hen like pledge I solemnly make
Make no ill come close or wrongly trust
Trust not even hubby, none at all
All afflictions that assailed mom will never
Never arise a secone time
