Angels Play Their Harps of Gold

The womb of a mother is a cradle for a child to grow in 
a nine month gestation grace period is a child's sweet elation 
Mother tenderly sings to her little one as she waits to give birth !

A mother is a vessel of purity, also a    

Mother's heart, is full of love for her child 
Object of her desire, "a baby with ten little toes and ten little fingers" 
Tenderly woven thoughts arrive at the font of her pregnancy 
Hieroglyphical sounds and body rotations, she is mesmerized 
Enchanted by a human life growing inside of her she 
Reveres the treasure within her and prays for safe delivery 
Search the whole world over and you will never find a purer

Love, than the love a mother has for her child 
Over the moon and infatuated with her infant she cradles  
Validating her affections to the gem before her eyes 
Each time a woman delivers a child, the Angels play their harps of gold.

The most powerful name on earth is Mom. Not God , not Jesus, not Dad, husband, BFF. It's only second to one other name "my baby".
