Mom Who Accidentally Suffocated Her Newborn Baby Sues Hospital | Mom.com

On the edge of soft twilight Before all else greet morn's dew... I wrap you 'round my bosom And allow this gift of hours To savor love-coos, just mine; Drinking deeply your fresh songs A pleasure newborn babe grants. * Constance La France's Contest HM's and NA's October 2020 Poetry Submitted 11/2/2020 Written 10/29/2020 Judged 11/1/2020 For 49ER Contest ~ N/A ~edited syl count via how manysyllabes
