Heartbeat

head upon her chest
i listen to her heartbeat
blessed miracle

deep within her womb
another heart is beating
new life beginning

my heart overflows
excitement is bubbling
for the new baby

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.
