Ante-Natal Poem

MOTHERLY LOVE

Mother oh mother
standing inside the innocent shade
though i couldn't see her face
But i could hear her voice wishing me to come soon


mother ! mother! mother!
i see you glared at your balloon stomach
wishing i could be held in your arms
yet i keep swimming in the mucus
which you prepared inside of you

Mother my mother!!!
the voice of the unborn whispered
your motherly song filled the atmosphere 
of your balloon, like an air 
that is ready to get bust

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
