Birth of a Mother

I have witnessed a beautiful sunrise Sat in awe of an exquisite set Tasted wine from the greatest vineyards A few moments I won't forget Crystal clear blue oceans Caressed my gingerbread skin Shimmery coconut lotions Aroma, enhanced by gentle winds Enjoyed the hustle of city life A pretty penny in my pocket Felt love and security of being a wife But you can bet that I can top it Like two parallel pink lines The birth of a doting mother The love of two, intertwined Creating yet another The sensation of our creation Jostling about inside my belly A speck from penetration A touch of you and piece of me Laying on a twin size bed Needles and nurses, in and out The doctor sees a head Perfection without a doubt Trembling arms cradle you Eyes wide open, you study me There is nothing more I want to do No place I'd rather be

Wonderful work with great thought given to the subject mater as it gently unfolded for the readers delight. Like a moth to a flame you seduce us with the beauty of you words and we fall prey to their magic. Emile. #7
